Interestingly, the main s.r.c eCos and redboot websites have _never_ mentioned trademarks, nor has the logo ever had a (TM) superscript. The logo isn't a registered trademark AFAIK, so RH's legal protection is minimal.


Incorrect. ECOS and the logo are *both* registered trademarks of Red Hat, so be careful there.

eCos is a *registered* trademark. The logo AFAIK isn't.

logo on all handouts given away by Red Hat and Cygnus,

TM doesn't mean registered though.... specifically not in fact. I believe you that there may well have been handouts with the TM superscript... in fact I've just looked and the stickers I have here do have the TM I see. But the laxness in applying the TM as evidenced by the existing public use of logos by Red Hat makes it very difficult to enforce.

correspondence from Mark Webbink verifying this.

He lumped the eCos registered trademark and other trademarks together if you're referring to what I think you are.
