Assuming you mean Red Hat (TM), instead of Redhat (a poor attempt at
disguising the trademark :-), the reason (or at least one of the
reasons) Red Hat renamed the project was to enable third parties to
burn CDs and commercialize them without the risk of invalidating any
rights it has to the Red Hat trademark.  IANAL, but that's my
understanding.
