Not to pick on just one part of your email, but I don't think it's as
red herring as you claim.  If you want to have an "Free" image to
promote Fedora, for the image to do its job it has to have connection
and representation to Fedora, so that when you see the image, you think
Fedora.  So while it wouldn't carry a trademark, for it to be successful
it has to be a mark that one associates with Fedora.  This means that
inappropriate use of the mark, which we would not be able to legally
correct, would then associate inappropriate things with Fedora.
