Red Hat needs to have a trademark on Fedora. Since it is all open source software, anyone can fork it or whatever and distribute it. That's fine, but it would be a dis-service to the Fedora community if someone forked it and distributed it AS FEDORA - it would cause confusion and people buying/downloading the wrong product. That's all that this is about.
