I'm talking about the logos and the whole branding as Red Hat. It is on the media you get from Red Hat, and you can't redistribute that freely, extra conditions apply. Same as with the Fedora branding, and (presumably) even Debian.

The "extra software" CD that came with early Red Hat distributions (and wasn't on their website) is something entirely different.
