I see a bug filing, done merely by looking for certain words, perhaps with find and grep on an exploded tree. This is probably not helpful
The issue is NOT if a word form or file name containing the word fragments 'hat' and 'red' is present. Rather it is if a formal TRADEMARK (as opposed to mere identification) of ANY other party, or non-free (i.e., copyrighted and not under a GPL [former approach] or CC [present approach] or other freely redistributable license) images are present
The mere 'use' of the word fragments when used as identifiers is not a problem -- if that file is under the GPL, etc, it is free for reuse without change; if it IS changed, or a derivative work produced from teh sources that generate that file, we need to be sensitive to maintaining the COPYING and copyright trail, so a 'light touch' and thoughtful changes, rather than simply running a 'sed' bulldozer through a srouce tree is in order
Turning to the upstream sources, Red Hat initially isolated this type of content to two packages: redhat-artwork and the install time 'images' file for anaconda
In recent upstream product, I also see; redhat-logos
Over time, Fedora has acted to track down and get licenses cleaned up and reviewed, and we benefit from that effort
We at CentOS may WANT to alter a given piece of branding art, but please do not conflate what we must do with what is merely a potential 'want'

Hi all.
Turning to the upstream sources, Red Hat initially isolated this type of content to two packages: redhat-artwork and the install time 'images' file for anaconda
It does no longer seem to be available.
In recent upstream product, I also see; redhat-logos
This has recently been finished and I am going to take care of the few other icons that wolfy has found in some packages. Maybe we should also report these upstream as Red Hat also targets towards packaging them in redhat-logos.
One item that I see was missed in CentOS 5 would be applications like eclipse. These contain the name Red Hat, should we report others?

if it says something that indicates to the user they might be running a Red Hat build or they might be using it on a Red Hat distro/os/platform - then please file it. We can always discuss it there.
And you can still file such issues against centos-5, its an ongoing effort not a open/shut situation. So we can still fix stuff in the next version
