Hi Corey. 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. You can read more about this policy
