But you can modify it all you want. However, as not-a-lawyer, just adding things probably doesn't fall under that. The details hare here: <http://fedora.redhat.com/about/trademarks/guidelines/> You're definitely going to want to consult a lawyer. Preferably one familiar with open source. Watch out for the licenses and other legal issues with those "maybe" apps.

The trademark guidelines would apply again. But also, it would depend on the licensing terms of the drivers, too. -- Matthew Miller mattdm@xxxxxxxxxx <http://mattdm.org/> Boston University Linux ------> <http://linux.bu.edu/> -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list
