SuSE No Longer Barred From Selling

Posted by Hemos on Thursday January 10, 2002 @01:11AM from the crayola-next dept.

MobyTurbo writes "According to a press release SuSE is no longer barred from selling Linux as reported and discussed in a thread on slashdot. SuSE is settling out of court with a German company called "Crayon" that claims that the KDE app Krayon violates their trademark. Incidentally, this vulnerability probably applies to several other distributions."

What's the point of linking to Slashdot? In case we couldn't find it?

Damn. He got modded redundant even though he posted almost at the same time as the other guy. How do you know who started typing first?

Someone ought to stuff the crapheads of that lawyer and the president of that company's pres in the nearest public, open source, city park toilet. I wouldn't be surprised if that lawyer was paid by Micro$lop Corp. That sounds like one of their typically slimy moves.

Oh well, I already submitted this story more than 24 hours ago to Slashdot, and it got rejected immediately. Now it finally got its place on the front page!

  Yes, what's up with the moderators?
  
  They are rejecting submissions and then days later when it is no longer NEWS approving the same submissions from their friends!
  
  The S/N ratio on slashdot is getting worse. I finally giving serious thought to dropping it from my daily reading list.

I asked myself the same question about the hitmen. I have to guess that either he is a Family member or he has lots of protection.

I know you will be modded a troll in a second but just so you know - Copyright and Trademarks are two different things.

Special embedded image tags in the submit page let the moderators know the exact pico-second at which the first character was typed.

Theres also a hidden FORM tag that indicates how sexy the submitter is, too.

You probably can't. What I know is that when I began writing my message there was no other message mentionning The Register.
