Linus wants money for the word Linux
Kintaro:
Personally I agree with Torvalds. To many people for starters associate the trademark wrongly with it being an entire operating system due to people distributing what is GNU/Linux under names like Red-Hat Linux and other things. I think this is fair enough, I doubt you would have to pay that trademark fee for mentioning that your product uses the Linux Kernel, using the Linux name in your product, company, or organisation name however is different.
And no Refalm, this is not a good reason to use BSD instead, nor is it a grounds to destroy a community.
noob:
he will be one rich man. unless linux was all a plan to get rich. make it popular, then charge for using the name. dont flame me for saying that, because it makes it sound like a microsoft type scheme.
Kintaro:
Oh fuck, read the fucking article. He makes barely anything, the only people getting rich are people in the law/trademark industry.
IF YOU ARE NOT GOING TO READ THE ARTICLE, YOU SHOULD NOT POST EITHER. ARGH.
Jenda:
I hope this is not true
Aloone_Jonez:
Don't flame kintaro after all he is a noob.
