I doubt that's what you meant, but this sounds like an advertiser
selling his ad space, telling their customers how they have a "captive
audience".
I don't think that's what's meant at all, no.
Fedora is not a generic, white-box operating system. People see our
logo and have positive, happy thoughts. Let's capitalize on that. I
generally hate being advertised at, but when my Android phone boots, I
don't think "oh %#$@%@, the capitalist overlords have me trapped". I
think "hey, that's a pretty nifty logo representing the device I chose
to purchase".
We've been talking about establishing some visual cues to help build
Fedora Workstation identity for a long time. Maybe Stephen's suggestion
isn't the best thing we can come up with, but c'mon, everybody. Please
come up with *something*.
