BTW, _now_ you'all know why Red Hat calls it "Fedora Core" and _not_ "Fedora Linux" or anything with "Linux." Red Hat was smart, they knew this was coming, and they have planned for it. It is the eventuality of the trademark game. Because no matter how good your intentions are, legal non-sense always kills it, so it's best to setup your community projects with this foresight beforehand.
Kind of depressing, though. Eventually we'll have to name our software projects names like "Project 2" in order to not infringe... oh wait.. there's Microsoft Project, dang!
Linux has always been a trademarked name for a while ... which is why CentOS is not CentOS Linux
I get that. I was just making a basic statement about trademarks. Not Linux specifically.
