[olug] Red Hat bulletin

[David Walker]

I agree that the principle is reasonable.  Has anyone looked at what it takes 
to remove the Red Hat logos?  If they are too heavily integrated I would hope 
that Red Hat would make changes to make them easier to remove as I would 
complain that heavily integrated art is GPLed.

Think they would be bothered by someone creating Husker Helmet Linux?  (Think 
about it) (or is there lawyer on the UNL side that would come after me?)
