Interestingly, the main s.r.c eCos and redboot websites have _never_

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.

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.

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