No, Red Hat Linux isn't proprietary software.  However the Red Hat
logo and name are trademarks.

Red Hat cannot prevent you from copying, modifying and/or distributing
Red Hat Linux.  They CAN prevent you from calling it Red Hat and using
their logo or their name to promote it.

Trademark != Copyright and Trademark != means of restricting
distribution and/or freedom.
