Without comment on the rest of it right now (because I haven't given it more than a cursory glance), the trademark concern in this case isn't a USPTO registration, but rather permission to use the (registered) _Fedora_ mark in the phrase "Fedora Netizen". This is part of the process for _all_ spins.
