[unix_distributions][fedora] Forking Fedora and branding

[LukeShortCloud]

Fedora has strict policies about using its branding. Only official spins are allowed to be called Fedora and use their logos. For the logos, use the generic-logos package instead of the fedora-logos package.

$ less fedora-logos.spec
%description
The fedora-logos package contains image files which incorporate the
Fedora trademarks (the "Marks"). The Marks are trademarks or registered
trademarks of Red Hat, Inc. in the United States and other countries and
are used by permission.
This package and its content may not be distributed with anything but
unmodified packages from Fedora Project. It can be used in a Fedora Spin,
but not in a Fedora Remix. If necessary, this package can be replaced by
the more liberally licensed generic-logos package.
See the included COPYING file for full information on copying and
redistribution of this package and its contents.

$ cat /usr/share/licenses/fedora-logos/COPYING

part of an accepted Fedora spin.

All uses of this Package, its content and the Trademarks must comply with the Fedora Trademark Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal:Trademark_guidelines.

$ less generic-logos.spec
%description
The generic-logos package contains various image files which can be
used by the bootloader, anaconda, and other related tools. It can
be used as a replacement for the fedora-logos package, if you are
unable for any reason to abide by the trademark restrictions on the
fedora-logos or fedora-remix-logos package.

Very useful information here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal:Trademark_guidelines#Usage_That_Requires_Permission

An important topic is that (1) the distribution can only be officially labelled as a "Fedora Remix" (no other wording can be used here) and (2) there must be a mention in the documentation of where to get unmodified vanilla Fedora.
