There was an interesting note in a recent <a href="http://fedoraproject.org">fedoraproject.org</a> newsletter<br> regarding Redhat's legal views on referring to others' trademarks. Since<br> the comments are lengthy, they are not reproduced here and are available<br>

<br> Although they are really talking about non-Redhat trademarks, the points<br> are equally applicable to the Redhat trademarks and related issues as<br> might (or might not) be used in CentOS documentation.<br> <br> Those comments make interesting food-for-thought with regard to the off<br>
and on discussions on how to or how not to (or how if-at-all to) refer<br> to Redhat in CentOS documentation.</blockquote><div><br>Steve,<br><br>The first thing to get right is the name of the upstream company. It is (and here I am quoting from upstream themselves) "Red Hat".<br>
