    Je trouve que c'est une explication pas très consistante. RedHat (il y en a d'autre) ont la même problématique et se débrouille très bien.

    L'utilisation de leur marque est défini ici :
    http://www.redhat.com/about/corporate/trademark/guidelines.html(...)

    Le package redhat-logos contient une license spécial qui défini l'utilisation de la marque RedHat, etc... :
    --------------------------------------------------
    The redhat-logos package and the anaconda-images package (the "Packages")
    contain image files which incorporate the RED HAT trademark, Red Hat
    "Shadow Man" logo and the RPM logo (the "Marks"). RED HAT, the Red Hat
    "Shadow Man" logo, RPM, and the RPM logo are trademarks or registered
    trademarks of Red Hat, Inc. in the United States and other
    countries.

    Red Hat, Inc. grants you the right to use the Packages during the
    normal operation of other software programs that call upon the
    Packages. Red Hat, Inc. grants to you the right and license to copy
    and redistribute the unaltered Packages, but only in conjunction with
    copying or redistributing additional software packages that call upon
    the Packages during the normal course of operation and only in
    non-commercial distributions permitted under Red Hat's trademark
    guidelines found at www.redhat.com/about/trademark_guidelines.html
    or under a separate written license agreement from Red Hat. Red Hat,
    Inc. grants to you the right and license to copy and redistribute the
    Packages in commercial distributions without additional license or
    permission, but only in conjunction with copying or redistributing
    additional software packages that call upon the Packages during the
    normal course of operation and only when all of the Marks have been
    removed or replaced within the Packages. All such rights are granted
    to you without fee, provided that:

    1. The above copyright notice and this license are included with each
    copy you make, and they remain intact and are not altered, deleted, or
    modified in any way;
    2. You do not modify the appearance of any or all of
    the Logos in any manner; and
    3. You do not use any or all of the Logos as, or as part of, a
    trademark, trade name, or trade identifier; or in any other fashion
    except as set forth in this license.
    --------------------------------------------------

    Notons que la RedHat Advanced Server qui est le produit le plus commercial de RedHat a les même conditions d'utilisation.

    Tout çà est claire et cohérent. Ce que fait Mandrake n'est pas claire (license commerciale non connue avant l'achat) et pas cohérent (truc propriétaire sous GPL et vice versa)...
