</div>If I read their position, they requested us to remove unauthorized use of<br>
RED HAT marks as well as improper use of Red Hat's IP, including within<br>
our web site metatags.<br>
<br>
They did object the use of their trademark in combination of linking to<br>
Red Hat's site, but they do not request from us to remove any links. Just<br>
the use of the trademark.<br>
<br>
So what we're already doing from <a href="http://bugs.centos.org" target="_blank">bugs.centos.org</a> and the security<br>
advisories does not seem to be a problem. Linking does not seem to be an<br>
issues to them according to what you send me.<br>
<br>
And wrt. the improper and unauthorized use of the trademark, there are<br>
ways to protect you from that (using the TM sign everywhere with a<br>
disclaimer).<br>
<br>
As long as we take proper care to make it absolutely clear we are not Red<br>
Hat there should not be a problem. That together with a formal request for<br>
revalidation of the website/wiki etc... should help us as well.<br>
<br>
By the way, X/OS answered their counsel that as soon as Oracle is<br>
complying, he would comply to the same rules as well. And never heard back<br>
