Description Jeroen van Meeuwen 2008-09-21 01:38:01 UTC

Description of problem:

The fedora-release package carries /etc/fedora-release, /etc/issue and /etc/issue.net, which may still contain trademarks (the "Fedora" brand name), or at least cause the Fedora name to be exposed prominently, in sight (system bootup, mingetty (/etc/issue), etc.).

I'm not sure this is actually a bug, but I wanted to note that all trademarks are supposed to be in fedora-logos.

If showing Fedora on a system that is not Fedora (e.g. removed fedora-logos) is a trademark violation, the contents of these files should be altered or they should move to fedora-logos.

If it is not a trademark violation, then I guess we're OK.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Any fedora-release package

Comment 1 Jesse Keating 2008-09-21 03:58:54 UTC

Probably just oversight on the list of packages to replace when rebranding.  We made an effort to make things depend on 'system-release' rather than 'fedora-release' or 'redhat-release' so that re-branders could provide their own -release file that provides system-release.  I really don't see moving the Fedora Release content into some other package.

Adding spot to the cc.

Adding to F10 blocker as we should resolve this issue (whether it is a bug or not) prior to issuing F10.

Comment 3 Tom "spot" Callaway 2008-09-22 19:31:03 UTC

We can probably resolve this with a "generic-release" package, like we did for generic-logos. I'll whip something up.
