Let me add that you would be allowed to only use the mark in a
co-branding situation. There has to be another mark, a primary mark,
by which your software collection can be commonly known as.  This
should help prevent confusion between official Fedora crap and derived
crap.

So I could I could use revisor and make a distribution and call it
the Livestock Insemination Operating System (LIOS), a Fedora Community
Derivative.
Where its clear that the primary mark is the leading mark and the
community derived mark is more in the spirit of an accreditation or
certification mark.
