I just think that a project that is supposedly by the community
(Indiana) should have to follow the same rules as the rest of the
community.

I also tend to prefer the approach of having a different name for
Indiana because I think RedHat has proved that it is a good idea
business and other wise to have the "community distribution" be named
significantly differently than the official one.
