There are several Projects older than Fedoraproject with this Name Fedora and 
yes your example is a old issue, Fedora on Cornell University exists since 
1998. <http://news.zdnet.co.uk/software/0,1000000121,39118067,00.htm> is  one 
off many Articles for your example from the discussions from 2003.

RedHat registered the Trademark to keep the Projectname safe for such fights 
with other Projects and not waste time in Trademarkfights therefore are 
Lawyers from RedHat ;-)
In Europe there is one opposition for the Trademark not solved yet.
