[lq:general] [Fwd: [Consortium] Linux trademark]



Hmmm, qu'est-ce que vous pensez de ça ?

Faudra-t-il débourser pour Linux-Québec, etc. ?

Hello all,

The Linux Mark Institute, now part of OSDL it seems, is attempting to 
charge organisations which use Linux in their name - even non-profits 
like linuxaudio.org:
 
http://www.linuxmark.org/forms/linux_licence_doc.html#Check1

I think we should resist this move on principle. It may only be US 
$200 per year at the moment for a non-profit, but I don't think it's 
really in the spirit of free software to go round mugging people for 
money like this. I thought the name Linux was trademarked to prevent 
it from abuse.

Cheers

Daniel
