No.  You are including content that is not in Fedora, therefor you
cannot use the Fedora trademark and cannot use the trademarked logos.
You would have some renaming work ahead of you.

Once you change the name, you can do whatever the heck you want with
it, under the laws and restrictions of the particular country where
it's being produced.  I would suggest consulting a lawyer as to what
laws apply (in particular with offering encryption technology).

Remix implies that you take the package set and do something
interesting with it, not just add a bunch of stuff from outside
Fedora.  Furthermore, regardless of location, Fedora isn't interested
in patent encumbered software, as it's not free for /everybody/.  It's
entirely uninteresting to promote such a thing.

Not really.
