It's a trademark issue. CentOS is not Red Hat, so they can't use Red Hat's trademarks. Nothing more, nothing less.

Personally, I am agnostic. I've just read thru Centos documentation that there is a big effort to remove all upstream personalities from Centos. Personally, I don't see why RH is doing this. I would think that it undermines RH. But I'm still new/old to all of this. It used to be the big argument was between Unix from Berkeley(4.? I think) and SysIII/V. Always always battles for turf.

I don't see the concern. CentOS is a binary-compatible clone of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Further, Red Hat sponsors and supports the CentOS project, providing confidence in it's long-term survival which business looking for a flavour linux want to see.
CentOS users should be happy about Red Hat, not scared of it. Likewise, CentOS is valuable to Red Hat as it's the source of their future customers. So it's a very mutually beneficial relationship.
