Yep. Just sort out something within the team here.

Oh, We havent decided that we need to go with a alternative logo and 
like you said there might be confusion and brand dilution but the 
alternative is to police every usage of the logo. That doesnt sound like 
a attractive choice either. We cant create a good community using and 
promoting Fedora by doing that. Similar issues with our trademark 
guidelines in general too. Hard problem really.

We have had several discussions in the Fedora Advisory Board. You can 
read through the archives or subscribe to the read only list to follow 
future discussions.
