Oh, I don't know about that. How about we take Red Hat's distribution,
remove all of the RH branding, fix the KDE stuff, and release it under a
new name. What should we call it? How about...Mandrake. All perfectly
legal.

I haven't looked closely enough, but do we KNOW he's only distributing

I'm a bit surprised at the idea that it isn't breaking the licenses to
rebrand, unless you add significant original content. Just changing the name
Ardour to Mark's Magnificent DAW Engine seems like quite a bogus thing to do
to make money. The only thing that's mine is the name.
This whole thing is pretty amazingly blatant, isn't it? It's like warez gone
public for the 'good' of humanity...
