[LUG] Thread linux?



From the Linux Emporium web site:

 10th May 
 We are promised boxed sets of Red Hat. Linux 7.3 on about the 15th of this
 month. 

 New on the cheap CDs page is Thread Linux 7.3.

...
 What is Thread Linux?

 One of the most popular Linux distributions is compiled by Red Hat.
 Software Inc, an American company.  Although the distribution can be
 freely copied and redistributed they have recently started insisting that
 it should not be called by the name which they use for it.
 (See their notes on the subject.)


My reading of this was that RedHat linux was called RedHat linux, but that
anyone else who downloaded RedHat linux and sold it on couldn't call it
RedHat linux? Or am I reading that the wrong way round, because it looks as
if Thread Linux is actually RedHat linux as sold by RedHat!

Don't forget it's Friday afternoon so I may well have it all wrong! :-)
