Dear Legal team,
Christian Krause and myself would like to volunteer to maintain a page for Fedora in Mono's download information site at http://www.go-mono.com/mono-downloads/download.html
The people at the #mono IRC channel told me that any distribution can request their own page in there in the "Mono for Unsupported or Community-Supported Distribution" section. (Currently there is only some info about Debian and Ubuntu, but I think Fedora deserves its page there too.)
The page works in the following way:
- By default, it lists commercially supported distributions - When clicking on the "Other" button (with Tux), the user gets to the "Mono for Unsupported or Community-Supported Distribution" section - In there, the logos and names of distributions appear and when clicking on one, the user gets to a page which contains information about how to get Mono on that distribution.
So, if we got such a page, clicking on the Fedora logo would allow the user to get information about how to install Mono on Fedora. I think this fits into http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal/Trademark_guidelines#Usage_That_Does_Not... but I'd still like to ask, since I'm not a lawyer and I'm not 100% sure.
If you are okay with this, we will request such a page from the Mono team.
Cheers, Timur Kristóf

Yes, this usage is approved.
