Incorrect. ECOS and the logo are *both* registered trademarks of Red
Hat, so be careful there. The TM superscript does indeed exist for the
logo on all handouts given away by Red Hat and Cygnus, and I have
correspondence from Mark Webbink verifying this.

I agree with this, although I would seek Red Hat's permission and stump
up the megacash they are asking if I were to use the logo in a
commercial context. However, as a free open source project I don't
believe Red Hat will object to its use in the context proposed. See my
previous email...
IANAL
