Parent article: The text of SCO's "Linux license"
I have no experience with copyright and/or trademark law (either US or NL), but if I were Linus, I'd seriously consider specifically forbidding SCO to use the trademark _in any way whatsoever_.
Anybody know whether such an exception is possible ?
I know that it won't bring any long-term victories, but it might just send a small message to the f*ckers - from the creator of the system, no less - that some people don't think much of what they're trying to shove down our collective throats.
And imagine how hilarious it would make this License read!
"oh sh*t, we have to replace every single use of the word "Linux" with "that trademark we are not allowed to use"!"
Does it for me ;-)
