LWN uses the Linux trademark!

Parent article: Re: [OT]Linus trademarks Linux?!!

Has LWN sublicenced the Linux trademark? Has the cost of doing so been
one of your larger expenses, or is it negligible?

Sometimes even I can't spell.

"Siblicensed" -- is that where you license it to your brother or sister?

LWN doesn't use the Linux trademark, it refers to it

Hmmm... I haven't searched the site lately, but if you check the FAQ (see What does LWN stand for, anyway?, last entry in General Topics), the outfit is no longer called ``Linux Weekly News''; it's ``LWN'' pure and simple.

So far, thank heavens, it's hard to trademark the letter `L'. :-)
