OK, you missed some of my points, especially the Linux bit (what happens
in the future if there is a Linux and BSD version?), but...
Anyway, to the meat of the matter: is it correct-legal-acceptable in
printed materials (books, magazines, online articles etc) then, to refer
to what the user has or is putting on his or her machine, the Fedora
Project distro, as just Fedora. For example, "Once you have installed
Fedora, you can....," "Fedora allows you to.....," "If you are new to
Fedora, you will find..." and so on. Red Hat seemed fussy on this point
in the past, insisting, as I recall, that Red Hat be referred to as Red
Hat Linux Operating System or, at least, Red Hat Linux, rather than Red
Hat.
And, getting back to that icon of a hat on the GNOME menu that just
happens to be a red hat, not a Red Hat, is it going to stay? Don't want
to waste my effort on a slew of new screenshots.
And also.... the screenshots on some of your pages, show the traditional
Bluecurve window borders, but the window borders in the latest Rawhide
releases are quite different. WHich goes on to the new Fedora? The
Rawhide version?

As you can imagine, a press release from Red Hat will announce that
separately when "Cambridge" is ready.

Some users will look for Red Hat Linux 9.1 or 10 or whatever and will
learn that the successor of Red Hat Linux 9 is released with a
different name. Some will learn about the Fedora Project for the first
time.

One thing for sure, the community will call it "Fedora", because hardly
anyone will distinguish between the core distribution and "Fedora
Extras" type of add-on packages.
