This is a likely scenario with an Official forged Fedora Core LiveCD or DVD.
Not a Kadischi CD in my opinion.
The bootsplash stuff is there to distinguish where and from how the disc 
came about.
Promotional materials and other specific things like that should be 
distributed with
an official disc, not these user-made CDs.
