Perhaps it could be explained better, but the section you [...]'ed
around is relevant:
'Fedora is a completely free and redistributable computing platform
that can be "remixed" into different combinations of software.'
That defines Fedora as a distro, which would seem to exclude the idea
of calling another distro that has Fedora packages in it a Fedora
Remix.

This second explanation under kanarip's content sandbox doesn't say
"only". It could be clearer, though. It is clearly a draft in his
personal space, though.
