Description mejiko 2016-03-06 06:44:11 UTC 
Hello.

This software name is "archlinux-keyring".
but "Arch Linux" is trademark.

Arch Linux Trademark Policy is not allowed commercial use.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:TrademarkPolicy

I think that this is non-free and trademark problem.

Thanks.

Subject: Re: use of "archlinux-keyring" as package name in Fedora RPM

Hello,

As the name of the git repo is "archlinux-keyring", this doesn't violate
anything related to our trademark policy. You are simply packaging
something we supply by the name we use.

Cheers,
Aaron

So everything seems in order.
