Some of those are perfectly valid, for example "Red Hat-related icons
and pictures" or "...registered trademarks of Red Hat, Inc" but the
references to "Red Hat Linux" should be removed eventually. Doesn't make
much sense for RH to keep changing the product name for each FC vs RHEL
release, something like %{product} macro in rpm build phase maybe...

Then there's the issue of specspo: if you check the number of Red Hat
instances with and without specspo installed you'll notice that quite a
few of them are already fixed in the actual packages but specspo entry
still talks about RH(L).
