"Once I get the RedSleeve (RHEL6 ARM port) released
Red Hat Legal is very strict about not using the RHEL brand for
non-RHEL software. Do NOT even refer to RHEL *at all* when referring
to this project.
Fair enough - it is kind of hard to explain what it is a clone of if
you're not allowed to use the R-word, but I'll make a conscious effort
to instead apply a long and convoluted explanation instead in the future
without mentioning the R-word.
Even the "Red" in "RedSleeve" might be implication
enough for them to be concerned. CentOS and the others have already
learned this lesson. Note: I'm not complaining about the port, just
warning you about the name.
Names are easy to change at this stage, and I have a backup name in mind
should it become an issue. :)
Also, you're much better off porting CentOS instead - they've already
done the work of removing trademarked graphics and such, giving you a
legally clean slate to work off. Why duplicate the effort?
In retrospect, that might have saved some re-branding effort, but at
this point weeding out the last of the branding references shouldn't be
too difficult. The redhat-logos package (the only one explicitly listed
that I have in my distro) has already been re-worked to remove all RH
related graphics.
