Subject: Item Removal Request



Greetings from Amazon.com Auctions.

We are writing to ask you to remove your auctions for Red Hat Linux
products.  We are taking this action due to violations of the Red Hat
trademarked name and logo.  Please remove them by 5 pm tomorrow night,
or we will take them down ourselves.

Amazon.com highly values the copyrights and trademarks of all buyers
and sellers on our Auction site.  We also strive to protect our
customers from receiving illegal, illegitimate, or misleading items.
So, Amazon.com has been working very closely with the software
industry to identify and remove unauthorized copyright and
trademark infringing software on our Auction site.

In this case, Linux can be downloaded, recopied, and resold, however,
the use of the trademarked name, "Red Hat," or it's "shadowman"
logo may not be used to promote or sell any other software.  Please
note for a Linux program to be labeled "Red Hat," it must come
with the original box, manuals and registration and the software
must remain unmodified.

If you choose to relist the items, please do not refer to Red Hat
Linux in any way as that would be a violation of both our Community
Rules and the U.S. Trademark Act.

As you may have not been aware of this policy, any commissions fees
associated with the cancelled Auction will be credited back to your
credit card.

Thank you for your cooperation and your interest in Amazon.com Auctions.

Best Wishes,


Alliance Program
