[LEGAL]

compiz source currently contains trademarked Novell logos, and does not
to the best of my knowledge provide explicit legally binding approval
to permit the redistribution of their trademarked logo.

In order to meet the requirements of trademark law, if compiz is included
in Fedora Core or Extras, we will then need to do one of the following
options:

1) Request upstream to remove the trademarked logo from the repository and
source archives, to permit the package to be redistributable without
violating their trademark terms.

or

2) Request them to insert explicit permission in the sources for the
redistribution of their trademarked logo.  (unlikely)

or

3) We need to recreate the tarballs, without the trademarked logo.


Doing any of these should comply with Fedora legal policies I believe.
If there are any deeper concerns, we should directly contact Red Hat
legal councel to resolve any concerns.
