Is this the first time we've ever used *.fedoracommunity.org? I've never seen it used before... Also, if we're going to use that, probably live.fedoracommunity.org makes more sense. And we've previously done custom domains for stuff, for example: .net: fedoraloves.net Python: fedoralovespython.org Get Fedora: getfedora.org (this one was actually a pretty painful change...) Custom domains are not specifically disallowed either, but a trademark license from Red Hat is required. Alternatively, Red Hat/Fedora could purchase the domain for the use. If it is possible, we should get fedorastreams.live and/or fedoralive.stream -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! _______________________________________________ legal mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
