No ... the problem that Red Hat? complained about (and that I disagree
with) was trademark related and did not have anything to do with
filenames or software content.
It was related only to the CentOS.org website using terms in describing
our product, in our meta tags, and in linking directly to the RedHat.com
website.
We are now (and have always been) in full compliance with the Red Hat?,
Inc's trademark guidelines with respect to the distribution of software
that is built from sources that they provide.
