Universities Dispute with Red Hat over 'Fedora'

Posted by michael on from the red-hat-hoist-by-own-fedora dept.

Carl Lagoze points out that a pre-existing software project is already using the Fedora name, dating back to 1998. They're unhappy with Red Hat's claim to the name, and have objected.

    The last entry on the way back machine doesn't show that TM on the FEDORA Project site.

    However, it does appear that they have been using the Fedora name longer than the original Fedora Linux Project, but not longer than Red Hat has been associated with the Fedora.
