Thanks for all the replies!
Well, my question was motivated by the fact I would *not* like to remove the Geeko icon in the KDE menu and the artwork, because that would make openSUSE quite anonymous, and my idea is also related to promoting openSUSE in the scientific world, where I keep finding Red Hat and CentOS on my road just because they know them. Is there any chance I can maintain those, so that users can actually understand its openSUSE? ;-) Well, yes. Do not debrand. And I think Bryen already was showing the way to make it clear by asking for permission at the board.
I don't think there will be any doubt that this would be a real win for openSUSE.
What does 'redistribution' mean in your case? I mean, how many openSUSE based appliances are on the road which haven't cared?
Redistribution means putting the ISO of the live on sourceforge (I actually created a project already called CFDGeeko, but that was before I knew all the details on the de-brading) so others can actually find it and use it.
Yes, I have this kind of appliance for download on SF with my pet project. It gets downloaded regularly and people report that its useful.
I know many do not care of the guidelines, but I don't want troubles, Sure, its better to go the save route.
even if I find the "de-branding" quite annoying, and I don't understand how it can help us to market openSUSE, when the resulting distro looks like a "hand-made" distribution with default upstream logos. :-( Yes, thats the point. Your idea is great and promotes openSUSE in a very interesting area, as other projects do. I really hope that this (your ;-) case pushes the board to work on a more general solution which is not debranding. It should be possible - let's cross fingers :)
