that there might actually be some misrepresentation of others based upon what i have read in this thread.... or the other... i deleted all my messages and had to cut and past the subject from the online archive... sorry.
ummmmm it is Fedora Core and not Fedora Linux right?
or am i missing something?
im trying to understand..... does Red Hat have a license to say "Linux" and CentOS does not so that Red Hat can say Red Hat Enterprise Linux or Red Hat Linux X.x and CentOS is just a distribution that has linux in it or???
i know i am somewhat confused. anyone?

Correct.

Some people refer to it as Fedora Linux. Books, articles, etc... It is and has always been, Fedora Core from Red Hat.
Previously, before the Red Hat assumed control of the trademark, the Fedora Project at the University of Hawaii was sometimes called Fedora Linux. But not since mid-2003 when Red Hat took it over.

I'm sure for Red Hat(R) Enterprise Linux(R) that Red Hat(R) will most likely license the Linux(R) trademark.
I'm sure Red Hat could probably extend a sublicense to the Fedora(TM) Project as well, but since a major reason of the project was designed to minimize many legal issues (even if under the umbrella of Red Hat), I'm sure that's why they made many, careful considerations when coming up with Fedora(TM) Core, Extras, Legacy, etc...

CentOS does not have Linux (R) in it's name (because we don't have permission to use that Trademark in our name, and since it costs $5000 we won't be adding to our name anytime soon) and CentOS is not in any way affiliated with Fedora Core, The Fedora Project, or Red Hat (R), Inc.
CentOS does not contain Red Hat (R) Linux (R), Red Hat (R) Enterprise Linux (R) or Fedora Core.
CentOS is built from publicly available open source SRPMS.
Hopefully that clears up any questions anyone might have.

understood :-) i think... :)
what i meant was, at this url
http://www.centos.org/modules/smartfaq/faq.php?faqid=13
it says "Fedora Linux"...
maybe that needs to be changed. and i thought i saw something else. sheesh huh? ;)
sorry, sometimes i am a great proofreader if i understand what could be right and/or wrong... if i gain and/or use the knowledge and wisdom i have been given.
having dealt with so much contract, legal, and various policy and procedure _language_ over the years has fried some circuits and i am almost too much a perfectionist at times and so i have a tendency to waste cpu cycles... ;->
please forgive me. :-)
