Good, thanks. :)

I think they're doing it right, yeah. Their remix is listed at:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/List_of_Fedora_remixes#CloudRouter

and the representation as a Fedora Remix at
<https://cloudrouter.org/getting-started/> looks in-line to me.

They're building on our work. As the trademark guidlines say, ". The
Secondary Mark provides downstream distributors a means to indicate
their work includes or is derived from Fedora content, and thereby
drive more interest in the Fedora Project itself." -- I think that's
pretty much exactly the situation here.

One approach would certainly be to ask them to use the Fedora Remix
mark and a statement like "CloudRouter is proud to be a Fedora Remix"
or similar, rather than the main logo and the list-of-sponsors thing.

Not in a high-profile way that I am aware of; let me see if I can push
on that.
