that don't change the fact that it needs an OK from "Redhat Legal" and 
if you don't understand the reasoning google for the history why debian 
no longer ships Firefox and Thunderbird with the original name

have fun with "So please give your new users the choice" if Fedora ends 
there too and well known applications have to be instaleld with special 
names..........

Redhat is an US company and hence has other implications
than distributions outside the US or not driven by a company, look here 
for an example: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=319901
