[FW: Re: Reminder: Do not use trademarks in Summary or Description]
This comes from a recent thread in fedora-devel-list:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2009-January/msg02376.html
I added appropriate guidance to the Style Guide here:

Fantastic, thanks Spot... we can move any follow up to
fedora-legal-list if you like.
No need, it can't hurt.
They advised that the same advice applies to Documentation.
Never use "tm" or "(R)". If we are obliged by contract to mention
other
trademarks in a legend, add the legend as required by the contract.
In addition, our documentation should contain the disclaimer: "All
other trademarks are the property of their respective owners."
