"Fedora Remix" etymology

[Paul W. Frields]

I've seen one or two comments popping up on some news sites in
response to the "Fedora Remix" proposal that indicate people
mistakenly believe this term originated with Canonical and/or Ubuntu.

That is not the case.  During the run-up to release of Fedora 7, back
in the spring and summer of 2007, we were already talking about the
remix concept being a part of Fedora.  In fact, those tools were a
major release feature.

I wanted to put this information out in B&W for the Marketing team so
you can discuss how we can best put the idea forward.  I would rather
this be more of a pro-active move than having to find misinformation
and step on it.
