reg. fedora name as trademark

[Sindhu S]

hi

I noticed there is a website called usefedora.com that sells a product to
make online schools. Is this a violation of any trademark that redhat might
hold with regards to the Fedora name?

Thanks!

Looks like this could be a problem, depending on what TM Classifications
Red Hat covered.

Tom might want to bump this up to Rob.

The Fedora Board and Tom are both already aware of this.  Thank you
for reporting.

This issue is resolved — the online (non-open source) courseware
formerly at that domain name is now renamed.
