About eight or nine years ago, the Fedora Linux project started at the University of Hawaii, led by one of our local boys then a sophomore student Warren Togami and his lab advisor Dr. Brian Ching, as a YUM-based repository to supplement Red Hat. When Red Hat decided to abandon its community distribution because of financial problems, Fedora Linux became the non-official official community distribution of Red Hat, and many of Red Hat's developers were assigned to work on the Fedora Linux project. . . . I am not making any suggestion, except to point out that the word "fedora" is actually more descriptive of the Red Hat logo, but I don't think any one can raise the issue of likelihood of confusion as far as trademark goes. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
