It would be great, if we could make the trademark guidelines more suitable for 
openSUSE based systems. I think, if a project doesn't work against the goals 
of openSUSE or misrepresents as the official distribution, there is no real 
reason to not call it openSUSE based and have some openSUSE branding just 
because you add a package.

So if we could make the guidelines more liberal in that it also allows systems 
making use of openSUSE as a base being called powered by openSUSE or something 
like that and have openSUSE branding like the gecko menu button still in 
place, it would be much more helpful for spreading the word about openSUSE.
