I think that they are far too ambiguous of terms.  Is Fedora Directory
Server a spin of Fedora Core+Extras that is suited for being a Directory
Server, or is it the project around the software bits of directory
server?  Is Fedora Documentation a spin suited for authors and
publishers, or is it documentation for Fedora?  See what I mean?  There
is major namespace squashing IMHO if we don't use some term that
signifies a spin vs a project title.

Provided the commonality of all the different $FOO Linux distributions
that use the term Linux, I would find it hard to believe that it would
be a legal issue preventing the term Linux from being used in this
context.
