I do not understand the last paragraph. First Red Hat has to protect its trademarks.. because in the end.. it is about the only thing they really own. Second, there is an implication that Red Hat doesnt want CentOS to get any attention...

When I worked at Red Hat, we would gladly tell a customer if Red Hat didnt meet their needs where they could get better support or product.. [hmmm that sounds worse than I meant it.] I recommended Slackware and Debian to customers who were really wanting what that product offered that Red Hat didnt. I would recommend CentOS to individuals who are looking for that kind of support and cost level. I would recommend Red Hat to people who want a different kind/level of support.
