This is an excellent example why we should have fedora-distributor-list.
We can discuss the official Fedora distribution and custom Fedora distribution
as well as HOWTO which will benefit not only CD-ROM vendors but System
Administrators.

Apologies if this is a rehash from when the original Red Hat(R)
discussions went on.
One of the things which confuses me is that it's possible to go two
different install routes to get the the same place, yet one can be
Fedora and one can't - at least from my own reading of this.
Take for example:
1) Fedora Core installed via kickstart off official media
2) Update Fedora Core errata/updates via yum/up2date/apt/hand
Then if I produce a modified single disk kickstart installer (not for
distribution) which has Fedora updates merged in, do I then have to
remove any fedora trademarks from that installer image.
If I read this correctly that could be construed as modification,
although the components are all under the Fedora(tm) code. I've a
feeling this could be called Fedora Core.
I then go on and add a non-fedora package using yum/up2date/apt if I
do this after install, I still have a fedora system just with a
third party package. If I do this in the kickstart image I'd say
that then probably ceases to be Fedora. Which if I want to produce
kickstart images for a large number of internal servers then I have
to ensure that the Fedora(tm) is removed from the kickstart?
In which case I can simply configure up2date/yum as part of the
kickstart and on first boot install the non-Fedora package, it seems
as if I'm making a kickstart image and want to be able to say to my
co-worker, it's Fedora I have to jump through hoops in order to be able
to to that.
