Red Hat's war on RHELRed Hat's war on RHELPosted Mar 9, 2008 17:05 UTC (Sun) by djreedps (guest, #50980)Parent article: Red Hat's war on RHEL
I'm almost certain that Hormel would rather not have people use the name Spam which they trademarked for their delicious lunch meat product to refer to horrible, unwanted, unsolicited emails. I bet that Curad would rather not have people call bandages Band-aids. And that Puffs tissue would rather not have people call facial tissues Kleenex. But that is how people call things. So Red Hat can either accept the fact that their product will always be commonly named RHEL and there is nothing they can do to change that, or else they can rename RedHat Enterprise Linux to something else. This isn't the first time a company has either had its product misnamed, had the common name given as its competitor's brand name, or else had its trademark misused, and it won't be the last.
