As I was saying earlier in the thread, what we'd probably do is say that they could make changes within the terms of the trademark policy - possibly the Community Edition rules, which allow for recompilation and limited change. We can certainly discuss the extent of such rights; what we can't agree to is giving them unlimited rights, or even rights as extensive as Debian's or Red Hat's or another trusted distributor's without them proving themselves worthy of such trust.
