We dont call the distribution "Fedora Linux". We currently call it
"Fedora Core". There is currently a discussion about merging core and
extras (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraSummit) and the new name
post merger hasnt been decided yet but "Fedora" and "Fedora Linux" are
potential candidates.
Currently you can call it Fedora Core™ but I would avoid the "TM" in
normal references. The logo doesnt have any registered trademarks
associated with it and the names are more casual.
