This is definitely something the packagers will have to look into.
There are other packages in Fedora where our ability to retool the
package may be limited by a trademark policy.  Typically that's not a
blocker issue, because it doesn't infringe on the right to modify and
redistribute -- only to do so while still using someone's trademarks.
As long as Yahoo!'s policy operates similarly we can live with it
(though grudgingly).
