He's almost certainly referring to the fact that you can no longer use
the redhat-logos package directly. If you resell a CD of RH8 that you
burned after downloading it, you have to replace the RH logos with your
own. Not only is that perfectly reasonable, but it's also something
they legally *have* to do unless they want to lose the rights to their
own logo. Interestingly, I believe Debian, long championed as the "most
free" distribution, has been doing this for a while now (before RH did):
