Hi Dmitry,

Where are you quoting this from?
> Max, can you comment this?
Sure. I'll repeat the same things that I wrote and said last year when
I was in Moscow, regarding a "Russian Fedora" spin.
It's perfectly ok to take additional non-Fedora packages and build a new
image that is a combination of (for example) Fedora and RPMFusion.
Many people do this, but from a trademark perspective, once we do that
we can't call it "Fedora" anymore, but have to give it a different name.
We call it a Fedora "remix".

There was a thread about this in December that Paul Frields and I were
on, and the end result was that we asked for it to be called "Fedora
Russian Remix 10/11/12" if there were any changes being made from the
"official" Fedora package set.
Basically, these are the same guidelines that apply everywhere around
the world. Nothing different for Russia.
