Re: "Fedora Remix" etymology

[Jack Aboutboul <jaa redhat com>]

Paul, et. al,

I would like to confirm Paul's comments regarding the etymology remix.  
I am the person who first came up with it and used it, and if I remember 
correctly that was in a taping session for some Red Hat promotional 
material (maybe red hat magazine) in the FUDCon at the the run up to 
F7.  Actually, I had been using it for some time before that but that 
was the first time we officially all kind of agreed that we liked it and 
adopted it.

I remember it because I came up with the phraseology because I was 
working a lot with creative commons at the time.

Max Spevack can confirm.
