These Red Hat Trademark Guidelines (“Guidelines”) outline the policy of Red Hat, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Red Hat”) for your use of Red Hat Marks (as defined below). These Guidelines cover all of Red Hat’s trademarks and service marks (the “Red Hat Word Marks”) and logos (the “Red Hat Logos”) (collectively, the “Red Hat Marks”), both registered and unregistered.

In these Guidelines, we are not trying to limit the lawful use of our trademarks, including their “fair use,” but rather describe for you what we consider the parameters of lawful use to be. Trademark law can be ambiguous, so these Guidelines are meant to inform you about what we believe are acceptable uses.

Nothing in these Guidelines is meant to limit your rights under the terms of a free and open source software license. Trademarks and copyright are different rights, so regardless of what rights or permissions you may or may not have to use the Red Hat Marks, you always have all your rights under any applicable free and open source software licenses.

To ensure that your permitted use maintains the high quality and integrity that is associated with the Red Hat Marks, Red Hat, at its sole discretion, may terminate or modify your permission at any time. Red Hat retains and reserves all rights to the Red Hat Marks and their use, including the sole right to modify these Guidelines, with immediate or later effect. By using the Red Hat Marks, you agree that any goodwill associated with your use of the Red Hat Marks belongs to and inures solely to the benefit of Red Hat and that your use of the Red Hat Marks does not entitle you to, nor will you acquire any rights to, the Red Hat Marks.
