Personally, I think the reason we should not call the OS "Fedora Linux" 
is that the trademark guidelines for the term "Linux" specifically say 
not to:

"When you are using the Linux mark pursuant to a sublicense, it should 
never be used as a verb or noun. It should be used only as an adjective 
followed by the generic name/noun. In other words, “Super Dooper Linux 
OS” is okay, but “Super Dooper Linux” isn’t."

My opinion is that Fedora should be setting a good example for others to 
follow, and this is an area where it does not, currently.
