20 years, perhaps even 15 years ago, I would have fallen for that bait, and been like, "I must warn the people".

With experience, sometimes comes wisdom, and those types of people, don't care about facts. They care about their brand or imagine and choice of product or service be the right choice, even if you smacked them with a legal brief, that unequivocally countered their world-view - facts be damned.

Fedora to its credit is not a bad operating system. In fact, I would argue that Fedora is one of my favorite Linux distributions. It is truly easy to use, easy to learn, stable, and overall user-friendly. I like, Fedora Linux. But, I am able to recognize that Fedora falls under U.S. Jurisdiction.

And if you're going to go around calling yourself, European Operating System, or Euro Operating System, or EU OS for short, you cannot go around claiming you are truly Europe's Operating System, while relying on IBM's Fedora Linux, the free upstream to IBM's CentOS and IBM's Red Hat Linux.

It would be vastly different circumstances if EU OS (spelled, EU_OS by the concept founder) were to hard fork Fedora. Meaning used Fedora as the starting base, and develop independently away from Fedora, as opposed to replying on Fedora as the upstream. Or alternatively, if EU_OS started from scratch, which few developments do, but it is an option. Either choice, would make EU_OS a distinct Linux development, away from U.S. Jurisdiction.

This, of course, is presuming EU_OS was registered and trademarked in Europe, and made no efforts to do so in the United States.
