Which makes "Fedora" and "Red Hat" equally problematic.So, after we get used to "Fedora" as a codename for: "RedHat code without the brand name and no support" It suddenly may become a "forbidden" word.
"Pink Tie Linux" is a bad name, because it's taken and may turned out trademarked itself. It's not my idea, actually. Someone mentioned a pink tie, and I picked it up.
Your idea of finding a "free" name for it would help just a little. Not long ago RedHat threatened CD distributors (e.g: cheapbytes.com) in legal actions because they used the name RedHat for the iso images they sold. Now, while protecting their brand against "leeches" is fine, we should not forget: - Those "leeches" helped establish the RedHat name a long time before broadband was common (I still have my old cheapbytes RedHat-4.2 cd's). - Cheapbytes specifically renamed their CD's to "Pink Tie Linux" (Eli? Are you associated with them? :-)
What's wrong with it as a long-term solution? If the whole world knows some synonyme for "Red Hat", and that synonyme isn't trademarked, isn't it just perfect?
I don't know how effective are those evasive manuevers and I don't like to use them. They may be OK as a temporary workaround for this insta-party due to time constraints, but they are NOT OK as a solution.
