Yes, that's Red Hat.  That's what the linked article is about.  Red Hat is
partnering up with CentOS now, and presumably will allow CentOS to be a
little more rational about calling Red Hat Red Hat.

I never could understand why it would be like that to begin with.  I mean,
Ubuntu calls Debian Debian, right?  And Mint calls Ubuntu Ubuntu.  If
that's the name, isn't it just being honest to call it that?
