I guess my initial comment regarding trademark was spurred by seeing the phrase used in conjunction with the logo in your mock-up, Mo. It looked really good. They looked like they *belonged* together. I instantly foresaw them being linked together in a myriad of contexts all over the Fedora multiverse. In such a scenario, where the slogan and the logo are closely linked, it felt natural that the phrase would be serving a very similar role to that of the logo itself, and thus they should be treated similarly.
Hmm.This is a good point, actually. One of the nice things about trademark protection is that you can protect "elements grouped together in a certain way" without having to protect the individual elements themselves.
But yes -- worth more thinking after we all agree that "Freedom is a Feature" is the right slogan. Which, evidently, we do.
