Other lists @redhat.com have been ahead of this mailing list as well
and have discussed and pointed to those trademark guidelines already.

Plus, IIRC, with regard to selling copies of Red Hat Linux download
version, I've seen a mention of "Pink Tie" and "Green Shoe" CDs on
some of the lists and elsewhere, too. ;)

I don't think I've seen a discussion on the name "Mad Hatter" yet,
however, and whether it might be a possible trademark violation
(even in case it really will be based on SuSE Linux).
