Correct - all the vendors face the problem that there are people out there who want to try and pass crap on using someone elses good name whether its toothpaste, perfume or software (or in the case of RHEL software/services/support bundles) The Fedora mark is thus used to make sure that if you get a Fedora CD, it actually has -Fedora- on it etc. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
