Actually, I think I just smoked enough good dope to have a theory as to 
what you mean-  As in

Assert_is_this_binary_trademarklaw_legal_to_ship(dirpath path_to_iso_or_rpm)

If that is what you meant, then my answer is if redhat and other 
trademark holders want to define and provide me such a function, I'll 
gladly take a look at it, and if it seems reasonable, hook it into my 
build process.  If they don't, I'll just do as I presume CentOS and 
ScientificLinux have been doing, and just make a good faith best 
reasonable effort. aka 'winging it'.
