Because Red Hat lawyers badly frightened (bullied probably) Centos and
might have done the same to SL too. Red Hat does not want recompilations
of its sources being regarded by potential customers as having a Red Hat
connection.

No connection -- just the actual source under the GPL and Linux
licenses. Red Hat is required under these licenses to release the full
source, including any source (scripts) required to build the full binary
executables that are covered by either license -- that excludes the
trademark art work (logos). The release requirement includes updates and
modifications.
What is wrong with discussing the name Red Hat given these licenses?
