I am not, not have I ever been, a fan of
powered by or based on, since that attributes the value of the brand to
something that isn't the brand. It is either a technology to which the
brand applies in its entirety, or its not.

Another might be "KDE LiveCD, based on Fedora." Sounds dorky, but if
he's doing it because he likes KDE more than Fedora it makes sense.
It's not strong branding for us, because it doesn't look like it has
our blessing. So maybe "KDE LiveCD, powered by Fedora." might be
better if we're actually blessing it.
b. Does he need our approval, or is that approval implied
by the fact that it's all Fedora components?
Here's another way to put it: if you get it from fedoraproject.org
and/or official mirrors, it's Fedora. If you get it from somewhere
else it's based on/powered by. That's one possible knife we can use.

Once we successfully answer these branding questions, we can close the
issue.

Mark addressed that by saying that he would follow his initial email
with another email about Fedora marks:

We should wait for that answer.
