Comment (by mattdm):

 Okay, so, I've spoken with Richard and Spot, and in short we're okay to go
 ahead.

 Richard agrees that while it's not a strict legal requirement, it would be
 better from a brand point of view to use a clearly-separated account and
 name: "Fedora Dopr" or "Fedora People" or whatever. There's, apparently,
 not a meaningful legal difference in doing this vs. users' individual
 Docker accounts, by the way.

 Richard also feels that it'd be beneficial to have a stronger warning
 about permitted use on the Dopr site. (Possibly stronger and more visible
 than the one used for the Copr service, with a checkbox confirming that
 it's been seen.) He said he could write that -- Dopr devs, can you contact
 him directly about that?

 And, the trademark guidelines for Fedora in general could stand to be
 updated for the new cloudy/containery world. (That's my wording, not his.)
 That's somewhat separate, but affects how we want to control use of Fedora
 branding in containers -- and, as Richard says, is more of a matter of the
 Council deciding what we want to do with the brand, not necessarily a
 legal mandate. But we need to have that conversation separately -- I don't
 think it's necessarily blocking here.

 On a related note, I still think we should restrict the service to Fedora
 and CentOS bases, although it occurs to me that we shouldn't restrict it
 to just the base image, but also the layered images Fedora/CentOS produce
 + any other Dopr. That seems like it'd be reasonably easy to implement
 technically, especially if all Dopr containers are built in one Docker Hub
 namespace.
