I once met a senior government officer who was blasting Red Hat saying that the software does not work. It turns out that the hardware vendor simply got some amateurs to make copies of Red Hat and install it. The result was that his application would crash if 20 people logged into it. Who gets the blame? Yes, you guessed right, Red Hat! This despite the fact that Red Hat was not even involved in the implementation. This is a perfect example of why it is so critically important to protect the trademark.
Umm... wasn't that a classic example of why their needs to be a more technically competent partner system ? ;)
