Discussed in 2025-12-03 Fedora Council meeting.
The Council discussed the request to use the Fedora logo on fedoracve.org. While supportive of the initiative, the Council voted (+8) to grant conditional approval only. This approval is not final and is strictly contingent upon a review and decision by Red Hat Legal regarding trademark usage.
The specific agreed-upon statement from the meeting is as follows:
The Fedora Council conditionally approves the use of the Fedora logo on the fedoracve.org website, pending final approval from Red Hat Legal trademark experts.
The Fedora Council RECOMMENDS the use of a clear disclaimer on the site that the site is not officially managed or run by the Fedora community (to avoid our Fedora Infra team getting support requests when there are issues), AND does not represent the state or management of CVEs in Fedora Linux.
The Fedora Council RECOMMENDS transferring ownership of the domain to Red Hat IT so it can be maintained and renewed in perpetuity by those responsible for the Fedora trademark.
@jspaleta has been actioned to initiate the required review with Red Hat Legal.
For avoidance of doubt: the recommendation is to transfer domain ownership, not actual infrastructure or maintenance responsibility, right? The existing fedoracve.org team would presumably still run the website?
@catanzaro That is correct. The recommendation for transfer of ownership is specifically about the domain registration, not the actual development, maintenance, and stewardship of the website.
