No connection -- just the actual source under the GPL and Linux 
licenses.  Red Hat is required under these licenses to release the full 
source, including any source (scripts) required to build the full binary 
executables that are covered by either license -- that excludes the 
trademark art work (logos). The release requirement includes updates and 
modifications.

What is wrong with discussing the name Red Hat given these licenses?
