There are three things that we are trying to achieve in the branding
hunt. In priority order these are :

1) To remove Red Hat TM's so as to meet their requirements and guidelines

2) To establish the CentOS Branding and identity

3) To remove ambiguity downstream as to where and what the code
represents. This includes replacing strings that brand a component to be
a part of RHEL. eg: if something says 'the xxxx for Red Hat Enterprise
Linux' we would replace that to say 'the xxxx for CentOS Linux'

Some notes to keep in mind while you go through stuff to check for
branding issues :
a) we are not trying to replace (c) Red Hat, or things where it says its
Red Hat influenced, like the 'gcc -v' string

b) Even if someone has reported a component as checked, please check it
again - more +1's to a patch, or to a whitelist request, or to a
blacklist request help increase confidence in the overall end result.

c) please also install and check in the GUI, sometimes applications
About box's will have the Red Hat shadowman logos that we need to
usually replace.

d) When in doubt, feel free to reach out

Getting in touch : During the entire Branding hunt run, we will be
available on #centos-devel / irc.freenode.net as well as the
centos-devel list ( http://lists.centos.org/ ), feel free to reach out
with comments, suggestions etc.
