Some people have argued that Fedora is not a hat, it's a project. But if
our project's name is the name of a hat, why not using it to represent it?
Quite simply, it's mostly because of trademark law. Wearing a blue Fedora
dilutes the Red Hat trademark, and we don't want to do that to the primary
sponsor of our project. Trademark law is clear on the requirement to keep
your registered mark from being confused with other marks.
