Looky here!  Someone's doing something inventive with Fedora!

Anybody know who's behind this effort?

As we have learned from Thomas Chung, it's led by Rob Garth

http://fedoranews.org/cms/user/1148

Greg and I will take the point on this. It's important to me that it's handled in a friendly way, and we figure out if we can work with him, etc. and not have him get any sort of legal email, etc.

Our response should be "cool, how can we integrate what this guy's doing into Fedora and make sure everything is compliant" and approach him that way.

I'm particularly curious to know if he tried to submit the patches that he's providing back to us and got nowhere, or if he just never even bothered.

I am not sure that Rob Garth is behind this. I think Rob is much more literate than the author of the pages that are original content. I have emailed Rob several times and this does not look at all like his style.

There are OPL Violations for the derived work from the Fedora Unity Project that we will be looking at. Several pages of content are pretty much copied from the Fedora Unity Project sites and related Press Releases. http://www.linux-respin.org/newsdefault.html was derived from our press release for the re-spins, http://www.linux-respin.org/about.html was derived from our mission statement written the night we started the Unity Project. Pretty frustrating.

On http://www.linux-respin.org/order.html they claim to be part of the "Fedora Free Media Program", is this true?
