"You may also not then say that your product "contains Fedora" or is an 
alternate "edition" of Fedora. You may say that your product is "a 
derivative of Fedora" or is "built upon Fedora", but you must make it 
clear that your product is NOT Fedora"

This is based on "fair use" and you don't need explicit permission.

Commercial products tend to have more strict requirements.
