regards,
Hi guys, Maybe this is an old issue, but look what i discover today: http://fedora.info/index.shtml

That's pretty elaborate. They talk about Fedora Core 2. I would be interested to find out what software they are offering.
Cheers,
Marc

Yes, this is an old issue. It's basically a legitimate organization with a similar name.

They talk about Fedora 2,2.1, not Fedora Core 2. They recently incorporated as Fedora Commons and their new site is www.fedora-commons.org.
Their product is an open-source program written in Java for the following purpose:
"Fedora Commons provides sustainable technologies to create, manage, publish, share and preserve digital content as a basis for intellectual, organizational, scientific and cultural heritage by bringing two communities together."
The "two communities" are "communities of practice" and "software developers".
I believe there was a naming dispute at one time, but that's ancient history.
Let's show respect for a legitimate open-source organization who happens to have a similar-sounding name.
Just my opinion...

+1
By the way, if any fedora ambassadors (of New York) looking where to meet, Fedora Restaurant in the Greenwitch village might be interesting :)

There are several Projects older than Fedoraproject with this Name Fedora and yes your example is a old issue, Fedora on Cornell University exists since 1998. http://news.zdnet.co.uk/software/0,1000000121,39118067,00.htm is one off many Articles for your example from the discussions from 2003.
RedHat registered the Trademark to keep the Projectname safe for such fights with other Projects and not waste time in Trademarkfights therefore are Lawyers from RedHat ;-) In Europe there is one opposition for the Trademark not solved yet.
