Can you give the *software* it contains to others? can you get the source?


I cannot redistribute *unmodified* copies *if* the trademarks are
embedded in the sources. So the distro may be non-free if the
logos etc are bound to the software in non-trivial ways.


Agreed, but they specfically state certain files you're supposed to modify in the end distribution. They don't seem to claim you need to remove every mention of the name RedHat in the distro. You need to modify the graphics the instaler uses and the text file /etc/redhat-release. i believe those are stand alone files.


Again, I'm not lawyer and I'm not too interested in legal reasonning. I'm interested in the philosopihcal question - is this still Free Software?
