That is correct. A few years ago some sleazy Boston attorney registered Linux as a trademark and sent letters to some of the businesses that write code or produice distributions. Linux International (eg. Maddog Hall) led the fight to regain the Linux trademark. I didn't keep up with the legal battle, but from a legal standpoint, they probably were able to establish Linus as the most legitimate owner of the name. On 17 May 2000, at 8:44, Anthony J.
