The Fedora(tm) Project. <http://www.fedora.info/>
This is good news.
Hi, I talked with Michael Johnson who is cited as the leader of the fedora project on the fedora.redhat.com pages.
He talked with the legal counsel at red hat and got the following info.
- the fedora.info people haven't tried to take a number of steps to work it out - they've taken none - fedora.info was only using f.e.d.o.r.a as an acronym -not as a trademark - only after the rh trademark filing did fedora.info assert a trademark - rh had previously informed uva and cornell that rh would not interfere with their continued use of the fedora trademark. - the fedora has been associated with red hat ever since the shadowman logo was adopted.
so there is some more exact info.
it seems to me rh has acted both legally and ethically correct - especially that they told uva and cornell that they would not interfere with the use of the term for the fedora.info project.

The first WWW site says something different from what you posted but I cannot remember how I got to in. From what you posted, it looks as if there is nothing to worry about.
