Good, thanks. :)
1) Are they properly handling all the legal/trademark bits as
expected, if they're not and we back them it could bite later?
I think they're doing it right, yeah. Their remix is listed at:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/List_of_Fedora_remixes#CloudRouter
and the representation as a Fedora Remix at
<
https://cloudrouter.org/getting-started/> looks in-line to me.
2) what is the relationship, are they just consuming our work and
wanting to use the brand to their advantage?
They're building on our work. As the trademark guidlines say, ". The
Secondary Mark provides downstream distributors a means to indicate
their work includes or is derived from Fedora content, and thereby
drive more interest in the Fedora Project itself." -- I think that's
pretty much exactly the situation here.
One approach would certainly be to ask them to use the Fedora Remix
mark and a statement like "CloudRouter is proud to be a Fedora Remix"
or similar, rather than the main logo and the list-of-sponsors thing.
3) are they actively contributing?
Not in a high-profile way that I am aware of; let me see if I can push
on that.
