Joerg -- your reply was made to a related but *completely different discussion*. Greg's comment you quoted refers to a policy, not a particular action. Putting any kind of "sponsored by" stuff in Anaconda does not mean we have suddenly changed all of our policy about co-branding. One can still be against the concept of co-branding[1] while still acknowledging sponsorship, partnerships, and other relationships. Co-branding is a big effort; look at the situation with Red Hat and JBoss to see how that is going. Personally, I don't think Fedora needs co-branding to succeed, and it would distract from our mission. But that's really orthogonal to if we want to show some love for Red Hat (and other sponsors), as well as showing lots of love for the community.
