XXX brand of YYY where YYY was a generic term then they could tell they had what they wanted either way.
As Johnny said, we've been asked not to use certain trademarked items, and I don't really see any reason to go against that right now whether or not we're "technically" correct in doing so. There are plenty of other "open source" distributions like mandriva and suse, where rebuilding the corporate or EL version is nearly impossible, if not outright prohibited by the license agreement. RH supports the community as much as anyone else, and we do use their source packages, so if they say "we'd appreciate you not doing that" it's a reasonable thing. Add 2-3 lines of text manually, or bite the hand that feeds you. Not really a tough call for me.
Of course, but it would be nice if 3rd party app packagers started asking how to detect the OS compatibility without referencing a brand name with the danger of letting it become generic.
