I've prepared and verified the following changes to our legal notice, which I am going to put in CVS. I have one question first:
Do we use any Red Hat trademarks in Fedora documentation?
I think we do, we at least refer to Red Hat on occasion. Just want to be sure I'm not missing something obvious.
This file is docs-common/common/legalnotice-content-en.xml, now tagged "docs-common-new-canonical-legal-notice-using-OPL".
We'll begin actual usage of this legal notice with each document when we have relicensing sign-off from each contributor.
## begin new legal notice in entirety

Some of the technologies developed by Red Hat may have trademarked names, e.g. "RPM".
I couldn't find a complete list of RH trademarks, just various boilerplates that say things like:
"Red Hat, the Red Hat "Shadow Man" logo, RPM, and the RPM logo are trademarks or registered trademarks of Red Hat, Inc. in the United States and other countries."

Ah, yes, thanks, I forgot about RPM.
I left in the call about Red Hat trademarks, to make it clear.
We used this on the latest release notes for FC5, minus Samba content until we can contact the writer or rewrite the section from scratch.
