It is my opinion, and far from a legal one ;-), that this move
is overly extreme. I _believe_ they would be covered if they
took the approach that the WBL group has taken. Surely, WBL has
been on Redhat's radar and there was no stink raised around their
(seemingly legal) use of the Redhat trademark when describing
(and in a dissociative manner) product.
I just hate to see people taking cheap jabs at some(one|thing)
doing the right thing. Sure, a lot of people "felt" put-off
when Redhat went Enterprise, but it is sufficient protest to
_not buy their Enterprise product_ if you don't like the
terms of use.
