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
