ok, This is becoming silly... Fedora nor Sugarlabs (and I think I consider myself quite a central contributor to sugarlabs) does not have a patent, trademark or anything else that should somehow allow it to kidnap the term sugar on a stick, which is a far too generic term to be kidnapped by anyone. I will, and in public too, call any distribution that contains sugar on a usb/SD or any other kind of stick Sugar on a stick (SoaS) as that is what it technically is. I'll end the discussion at that as going any further is probably going to spiral into something resembling a non-sensical flame war.
