Perhaps RH will sue the "RH clone" builders if they include a redhat-release rpm or /etc/redhat-release file? It would seem rather silly.
While it would be rather silly ... we have been told not to make redhat- release say Trademarked things :)
I'm not a lawyer, but I thought that if you wanted to keep your trademark you had to keep it from being used as a generic term. If third party apps must use the trademarked reference when they really want to test for a generic compatible OS, they've done something wrong. There was a time when the only way to get aspirin was to ask for a trademarked brand name...
