They've read the trademark guidelines, and presuming that their "plus" is
provided as a clearly labeled post-install, they are within the
guidelines.
A very interesting effort. I wonder who's behind it? Difficult to find
any actual contact info on the site. :)

The key question here is the "plus".
What's the plus? Is it software in the Fedora universe?
If it's not, they can't use the name. If it is, they can(1). It's as
simple as that.

(1) OK, it *should* be as simple as that, and I think that since we've
given the Unity project the right to use the name on Fedora respins, it
should be fine.

Besides from plagiarizing most of our homepage's copy, and using the

Offering an update subscription service and charging for it is quite
permissible under GPL, isn't it?

This is NOT related to the Fedora Unity project other than the
plagiarism of parts of our site and press releases.
