These days, are we actually related to Red Hat in any way except that they
provide setup's web and CVS hosting?

I'm happy to use Red Hat's name if they want us too, but I'm concerned about
implying a stronger association than actually exists. AFAIK, it has been
many years since Red Hat had any direct involvment with setup's development,
and I'm concerned that Red Hat might not want us to use their name under
those circumstances.
