Right, but "based on Fedora" is fine:  it correctly conveys the
impression that we took a pristine and sane Fedora and then messed
around with it to our heart's content.  :)

I don't think anyone's left with the impression that OLPC's security
choices are a direct duplicate of Fedora's, which *is* a reasonable
impression to have if you download a Fedora spin that's advertised, as
most spins are, as "the core of Fedora plus some app you really like".
