Their name (i.e., their reputation) is their only asset. Unless they want to verify that every clone CD is a byte-for-byte copy of their official CD, the only way for RH to protect their reputation from others' carelessness is to insist that only Red Hat, Inc., can use the name "Red Hat"... which is the whole point of trademark law, after all.

Clause 2.1 of the Apple license states that
"You may use, copy, modify and distribute Original Code, with or without Modifications, solely for Your internal research and development,..."
which is pretty clearly in conflict with the Open Source definition's clause 6, "no discrimination against fields of endeavor". (see www.opensource.org).
I've just finished it.:-) It runs cvs log and parses the output, producing a ChangeLog file. Yes, it unifies when different files have the same log message on the same date.
You can get it from me by asking, or check it out via anonymous CVS:
cvs -d \ :pserver:anonymous@cvs.red-bean.com:/usr/local/c vs
checkout cvs2cl
