Typically the way to look at it is :
- does that string imply that you are running Red Hat Enterprise Linux
- does that string imply this is code curated by Red Hat
- is that an assertion of the product itself

what we want to do is remove Red Hat TM's and replace them with CentOS
content, but we also want to remove content that might imply the code or
the platform or the product is a Red Hat one ( or with support ).

Beyond that for (c) notices and places where there is a red hat string
that implies this is code curated by/at/for Red Hat then thats fine to
leave in. eg: the gcc --version output states Red Hat, since this gcc
codebase is the one maintained upstream.

Finally, when in doubt, bring it up!
