Right.  I don't think anyone's requesting we host this spin, just doing
us the courtesy of letting us know about a derivative of Fedora that
will soon exist.

The secondary logomark/logotext does not exist yet, but draft guidelines
allowing one are currently in review in Red Hat Legal.  Until a
secondary mark does exist and its use is circumscribed by some
acceptable use terms, there's no text or mark approved for this purpose.
In the meantime RPMFusion would be free to make some general notation on
their web site ("We constructed this distribution by starting with
Fedora and...").

I'm also anxious to see this secondary mark available for community use
and am continuing to track its review progress.
