>From Red Hat's site:

http://www.redhat.com/about/corporate/trademark/page9.html

"B. Without Red Hat's express written permission, you may not name or brand
your product "Red HatŪ," or use the Red Hat trademarks in any way, either on
your product or in related advertising. You must use a different trademark
for your product that will not cause confusion with the trademarks of Red
Hat or another party, will not indicate or imply that your product
originates from or is sponsored or approved by Red Hat, and which otherwise
complies with applicable trademark laws. Please also refer to the guidelines
for use of the brand "Red Hat" and for plays on the words "Red Hat."

C. You may not state that your product "contains Red Hat Linux X.X." This
would amount to impermissible use of Red Hat's trademarks. You may resell
the boxed version of your software that you purchased from Red Hat so long
as you sell the original discs and documentation included with the boxed
version. However, if you have registered the product with Red Hat for
purposes of obtaining support services, you may not transfer your right in
those support services, and you must advise the purchaser that they are not
receiving support services."
