Heh.  Licensing, content, and RPMs.  A fascinating topic.  :)

We don't yet have a clear policy for licensing of artwork.  The Fedora 
logo, for instance, *cannot* itself be licensed because it's a trademark 
that we want to protect.

But what does that mean for projects that seek to reuse that artwork?  
Makes it very difficult.
