The Strange History of Linux and Trademarks (Tux Deluxe)

The Tux Deluxe site has a history of trademark-related hassles with an emphasis on the Mobilix case. "Over the years Linux International has spent over $300,000 defending the Linux trademark, $250,000 of which has come from maddog's own pocket. In 2005 maddog founded the Linux Mark Institute, with support from Linus Torvalds, with the objective of protecting the Linux mark for the community and against the prospectors of the future."
