I don't know why a name like Fajr for example won't be relevant to the
project. I mean, look at distro names like Ubuntu, some african word
that means humanity or so. It has not 'tux' or 'ux' in it. Similarly,
the words RedHat, Fedora, ... are not linux or OS related.

One reason for refusing would be that we are putting non-free software
(such as acroread & skype) on the DVD. Which may harm their
name/reputation infront of some people who are hard-core free software
guys. There are already people who dont like that they facilitate
installation of non-free software (such as Adobe's flash or non-free
drivers). Got what I mean ?
