Sorry, that was close but missed a level 4, which is where we are really
at.

4 : Based on Fedora with free and not peitUS and in Fedora SCM can be
called "Fedora"

Fedora trademark guidelines -- only 4 allowed.

Fedora spirit so far -- 3 and 4 allowed.

Questions are about 1 and 2.

We're sure we don't want 0 by itself, although we accept 0 (Fluendo)
along with $something.

We know -1 is not going to be called Fedora, at least in this decade.
