There is nothing on the BZ's or anywhere to indicate this reasoning.

> that people other than Red Hat employees use Fedora. IANAL, but we wouldn't want anyone outside the company to be able to produce and publish documents with the Red Hat brand on them ;)

You cut off the part where it shows that it's trivial for anyone to do
this right now.

You could take the fedora brand and make it in to Red Hat or IBM or
Microsoft with about 5 minutes of work.

And it's fine if somebody, somewhere, wants to step up and state this
publicly; they can also get their act together and provide Red Hat
employees with a Fedora repository with this stuff in it so they don't
get stuffed around all the time.

Love and mung beans, Jeff.
