Hi, I'm about to create some Fedora Remixes and I'm not quite sure whether it is one or not (in the trademark sense). I know it's been discussed a lot, but I see some contradictions: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Remix says The "Fedora Remix" mark identifies a derivation of software that is not produced or maintained by the Fedora Project. It may contain some software that is produced or maintained by the Fedora Project. [...] It can also be combined with other, non-Fedora software to produce interesting and compelling products. A Fedora Remix product may contain some software that is forbidden to include in Fedora itself. So I understand it that anything that includes one Fedora package is a remix already? So the first question is a) when is something *not* a remix? Next I read on various other wiki pages, that a remix is a subset of only official Fedora packages, e.g.: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/JeroenVanMeeuwen/Revisor/FedoraRebrandRemixGuidelines Remix:: A Remix of Fedora is taking whatever amount of packages from the Fedora repositories and composing media based on that package set. Respin:: A Respin specifically updates existing media. Note the 'updating' is the key here. Usually, a Remix will include updates if they're available but that isn't the key point of a Remix, but for Respins, it is. Rebrand:: A Rebrand of Fedora b) So what is correct "Remix: includes offcial Fedora packages and more" or "Remix: includes only packages from a subset of offcial Fedora packages"? What I'd like to do is (not always combined) o apply updates-released o add closed source graphics card drivers o add multimedia stuff Is this still a fedora remix? Thanks and have a good start into 2009! -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
