CentOS - Mar 2014 - Question about trademarks

I've tried emailing this to centos-tm at redhat.com , but 
mailer-daemon at googlemail.com sent me this

Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:

      centos-tm at redhat.com

Technical details of permanent failure:
Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the server for the
recipient domain redhat.com by mx1.redhat.com. [209.132.183.28].

The error that the other server returned was:
550 5.2.1<centos-tm at redhat.com>... Mailbox disabled for this recipient

So I'm emailing this to you guys

I'm thinking of creating a project based on JBoss EAP the same way 
CentOS does with RHEL. Obviously I can't call it JBoss EAP so I thought 
I could call it CentAP, for Community Enterprise Application Platform. 
Will this infringe on the Red Hat and/or CentOS trademarks?

Given the recent discussion in the thread below [0], you probably shouldn't
name it as such.

Unless your "spin/project" becomes an official variant.
Read Johnny's response (URL below) and respond back if you have any
questions.

Hi,

try sending that TM question to centos-tm again, it should come through
and that really is the best place to address this stuff. You can,
alternatively, email centosdev as well.

would you consider coming and doing this as a part of the overall SIG
process in CentOS ? saves you from having to setup all the infra, get
the community bootstrapped and you still get lots of flexibility to do
cool stuff.
