IANAL nor do I work for Red Hat but ...

I suggest you may want to destroy those stickers.  As a trademark, Red Hat 
needs to vigorously protect its trademarks (use lawyers) or it will loose the 
trademark.  For example, when copies first came out they were by Xerox and 
folks began referring to copying documents as "xeroxing" them even when the 
copier being used was made by a different manufacturer.  The Xerox company 
fights this as best they can because if it does not, they will loose the 
"xerox" trademark.  I am not sure how successful Xerox has been protecting 
its trademark.
