So why can't Red Hat defend the same on Fedora(TM)?
I have no problem with that. After all, they _do_ lay claim to the
trademark and they _do_ define it's guidelines on use.
Fedora trademark guidelines are meant to be more a lot more flexible
than the Red Hat or Shadow man ones. So we need to cleanly seperate them
from each other. This is one of the reasons the name was changed into
Fedora from Red Hat Linux Project.
