How is Red Hat handling the/any trademark on "Fedora"?

Is it designed to be in the "public domain" then?  Or at least freely usable?

I know they referred to a "Fedora Core" release essentially replacing Red Hat 
Linux.  Maybe only the "Fedora Core" phrase is reserved?

There is no greater ignorance than the popular American environ-
mental movement, which focuses on the most useless details.  Be it
recycling the world's most renewable resource or refusal to use
proven CFC insulation on launch vehicles, no lives will be spared
in the further pursuit of, ironically, harming the environment.
