Personally i think, it might be good to compile a list of 'what if...' or 'can i...' questions to ship off to red hat legal and have then try to comment on a whole list of potentially common community 'good faith' efforts in one shot. Maybe there is even room to modify the available trademark guidelines to make things easier for more good faith community PR opportunities after a round of concentrated feedback.

If people would like to post questions to this thread I'll be glad to cull them into a list.
