All distros built with the distro constructor will automatically and unavoidably create distros that contain Sun's opensolaris trademarks/branding. This is contrary to the opensolaris brand guidelines which state that only Sun's distros can contain this branding. Others must use their own branding and might, given their content, be able to use the opensolaris trademark with a tagline, e.g. 'Based on OpenSolaris" or the weaker "uses OpenSolaris technology".
It would seem that maybe a brand package with "uses OpenSolaris technology", the weakest legitmate branding that could be used with a distro built from the repository, should be in the repository, and that the distro constructor might support overriding it with a non-repository-resident brand package in its place. This would enable Sun to control its branding and interested third parties to create their own branding. One-off distro builders would automatically have an distro with the weakest tagline trademark used in any distro they build, which is desireable according to the trademark guidelines. This also supposes that all branding would be consolidated into a single package, but that's another issue. Just a thought. Don't let it spoil the long weekend. ;-) Frank
