Hello? Anyone with examples?

I would rather not leave these insinuations hanging since, IMO, it
reflects badly on my company and I want to get any improprieties fixed.
Putting Red hat logos on any FSF web page is clearly wrong and putting
any redhat.com addresses other than sources.redhat.com on the web pages
is pretty iffy, too. I just took another look at some project web pages
and didn't see any evidence of this behavior so I need help to get
to the bottom of this allegation.

Or is this maybe another urbane myth like "gdb never builds", oft-repeated
and wildly inaccurate?
