They claim that Redhat has infringed on THEIR use of Fedora.





And their claim has a lot of merit, in my non-lawyer opinion.







For an independent source establishing use of "fedora" by Cornell and
Uof Va see http://freshmeat.net/projects/fedora/ which is dated Monday,
May 19, 2003.


There is the little fact that the name Fedora for this project comes out
of Warren Togami's Fedora project, which was started in Dec. 2002.

All of this is old news.
