Question is: "I have a kickstart file that uses rpmfusion non-free
repos in the %post section to install Nvidia drivers. I do not remove
Fedora branding packages in the kickstart file. Would I be in
violation of Fedora’s Licensing Guidelines if I were to publish this
kickstart file on my blog or in a Gist on GitHub? Or do the licensing
guidelines only apply to installation media like an ISO?

Also, if it is in violation, would it then be acceptable if I just
removed the Fedora branding packages in the kickstart file?"

For a definitive answer this should probably be run by Red Hat's
trademark counsel, but my thought is that merely publishing such a
kickstart file on a blog or Github gist would not require trademark
permission. But if it's part of some larger effort to create and
distribute a Fedora derivative, the requirements relating to branding
of Fedora remixes should be followed.
