Slightly incorrect. You only have to distribute the code or make an 
offer to distribute code if you distribute binaries to a third party.

Within the current trademark guidelines, if you modify Fedora you just 
cannot call it Fedora and if you modify specific programs then the 
copyright license of those programs apply.
