No, but the Fedora trademark Guidelines (http://fedora.redhat.com/about/trademarks/guidelines/page4.html) do: "If they charge a fee for the CD-ROM or other media on which they deliver the Fedoraâ code, they warranty the media on which the Fedoraâ code is delivered, thus ensuring that the recipient receives a usable copy." -- Markku Kolkka markku.kolkka@xxxxxx
