You are right. Its not murky at all. There are lots of packages under various different licences. The distribution of the entire collection has to comply with all those licenses. They have told you that a small number of packages within that collection have trademark restrictions which you must comply with, or purge those packages before re-distribution. No further restrictions are being applied to GPL packages. This has been had out before - I think it was RH8 (or just possibly 7.3) which had this EULA first. There are plenty of archives around with earlier flame wars^W^Wdiscussions.
