Quoting Ian from Progeny doesnt mean anything here.  Trademark 
guidelines are established for many other open source projects including 
Mozilla and Apache.  Red Hat merely asks you not to distribute any 
products under its name.

I am talking about documenting proprietary software as part of a project 
which supports open source software exclusively. I havent misquoted you 
at all and whether proprietary software should be documented as part of 
the Fedora docs project is not a off topic discussion.

  You missed out the part about being "exclusively free software"

http://fedora.redhat.com/about/

" The goal of The Fedora Project is to work with the Linux community to 
build a complete, general purpose operating system exclusively from open 
source software."

"I guess redhat  does not treats fedora as lab rat for upcoming rhel 
solely "

straw man argument since RHEL documentation doesnt cover proprietary 
software either
