If you read the TM guidelines [1] you'll see that you can "mention" CentOS - you can't call the resulting product CentOS. Specifically: "You may use the Word Mark, but not the Logos, to truthfully describe the origin of the software that you are providing but not the software itself, where what you are distributing is modified official CentOS source code or is a build compiled from modified official CentOS source code. You may say, for example: “This software is derived from the source code for the CentOS distribution.” However, you may not say that the software is CentOS." It's really not difficult.
