So given that this is the first interaction between our trademark policy and an external trademark policy... perhaps its appropriate to look at this as a chance to set up a style of naming as a better best practise convention for spin naming. You can't future proof for all such interactions of course. But its good to have an understanding as to whether this naming form is meant to be an exception or a best practise moving forward. First question: Does "The Whatever Spin by Fedora" form hold value as a best practise for spin naming generally? Second question: Does this construction:"The MeeGo Spin by Fedora, a Fedora Remix" meet the multi-organizational guidelines as well allowing use of the secondary mark? And if so is this a potential best practise construction for spins that want to use the secondary fedora remix trademarks? -jef _______________________________________________ advisory-board mailing list advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/advisory-board
