Please tell me how my above thoeretical repackaging of fedora does
not fall into this *very* explicitly permitted scenario.
The permissions listed was done IIRC to OEM's to do post install
modifications such as ship a optional repository of software. The
guidelines are a living document and written to state the Fedora
Project's position on various things. If they are exploited to do
things, Fedora Project does not endorse, they can and will be modified
to not permit those activities.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I don't think you fully understood what I was describing, or the
specific permissions involved.
I meant modification is a broader sense and not just patching some
specific software. At any rate, the guidelines must reflect project
goals and not vice versa. What you want to do IMO definitely falls
outside the scope of the project and must not retain the Fedora name.
Now it is upto to Fedora Project Board and Red Hat legal to determine
what's acceptable. Let's leave it at that.
