I understand, however, anyone taking a large project and re-releasing it
as there own is really taking a chance without reviewing all the
software in it.  I know people don't necessarily do that but the
responsibility still lies on the new distro to check.  So this statement
really isn't valid.  Has anyone checked all the icons and text files in
the 18,000 files in the repos, each and everyone, I'll bet not.  I think
there are a lot of assumptions made.

At any rate I do understand where you are coming from.
