Before answering more questions ... I really should point out that if
you are modifying the CentOS Linux ISOs and distributing them to others
while still calling them CentOS Linux, you are likely in violation of
our Trademark rules:

https://www.centos.org/legal/trademarks/

Those ISOs (and files) are produced by the buildinstall process.  The
files in question are created by anaconda-runtime tools.

CentOS has Special Interest Groups, where new install images can be
built, etc. by group members .. see this for more info:
https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup

We want users to use CentOS Linux as a platform for other projects ..
ideally via these SIGs, but even as not part of SIGs we are fine with
people using CentOS Linux as a basis for projects.

If you are not part of a SIG though, and are using CentOS for a basis of
a project then the key thing to remember is to not modify our installer,
but add your software at the end of the install process.  Then you would
call the thing you distribute "your software" on CentOS.

We have images for generic KVMs, vargrant, AWS, Docker, etc. on our wiki
download page as well as ISOs.  If you use those as is and add things to
them then "your software" on CentOS Linux name is fine.  If you modify
our images however, then you need to remove our trademarks and call it
"some other linux" based on CentOS.
