Well, consider me standing corrected. However, from what I've read in 
Linux Format (who welcomed the Fedora Core because they'd be able to 
distribute it, as Red Hat 8 and 9 had been restricted) and knowing about 
the redistribution restrictions imposed on people selling burnt copies 
cheaply, and for hosting companies using it, to find it covermounted 
would be VERY surprising. It wasn't the ISOs or whatever that caused the 
problem, but it seemed to be the name 'Red Hat' - their name and 
reputation is considered one of their greatest assets, so they were 
restricting its use to describe a distro that didn't come directly from 
them or an official mirror. (I think.)

Examples:

("Bytemark" Linux entry)
http://www.cheeplinux.co.uk/cat.pl?session_id=58ee112f&page=cl9info

So... although I stand corrected, I adopt a pose so as to suggest my 
wondering whether Linux User and Developer managed to get permission to 
use the name, or ignored all that and stole their vital intelectual 
property like some kind of magaziney IBM =)

All this aside, use Fedora Core 2 instead, it's newer and better =)
