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.
