Hello, I am starting a web-based computer retail store, selling computer systems that have Linux pre-configured. I want to offer Fedora 10 (eventually 11), Ubuntu LTS and possibly a couple more distros to choose from. The website is www.stitzcomputers.com and I need to ask a couple of legal questions. Does Fedora accept donations, and if so, where can I find a URL to put on my site for this? Also, I will donate a part of every system sale ($10 USD) to the distro that the customer chooses to be installed on his/her system. Can I use the Fedora logo on my website for the purpose of promoting my product and linking back to Fedora websites? Although I am not charging for Linux directly, one could argue that I will profit from each distro offered because it essentially becomes part of the product that I am selling for a profit. Do I need permission from Fedora before I can offer Fedora to be pre-installed on my computer systems? What level of support for the distro do I need to offer? Can I count on the Fedora Forums to offer the support my customers will undoubtedly need? I am going to need to take advantage of any exposure my company can get, so with this in mind, is there any means of advertising on your sites or getting mentioned (and linked) here as a provider of Fedora-based systems? Can I offer Red Hat Enterprise Linux as well, and what would be the benefits to my customers? Thanks in advance for your time and attention devoted to this matter, I'll look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, Richard Stitz richard@xxxxxxxxxxxx www.stitzcomputers.com _______________________________________________ Fedora-legal-list mailing list Fedora-legal-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-legal-list
