The actual text from what the original blog author cites (https://www.centos.org/legal/trademarks/): "Use of the CentOS Marks to identify software that combines any portion of the CentOS software with any other software , unless the combined distribution is an official CentOS distribution. For example, you may not distribute a combination of the CentOS software with software released by the FooStack project under the name ''CentOS FooStack Distro''." So the guidelines prohibit the use of CentOS *Marks*, not CentOS in his hypothetical scenario. --keith -- kkel...@wombat.san-francisco.ca.us _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
