SuSE No Longer Barred From Selling

Posted by Hemos on 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."

    Current trademark laws are "bugs". We need to fugure out how to remove these bugs, not just how to patch the symptoms.

    this wasn't in the US . . . because if it were not only would the company care, they'd realize they could make a killing. thankfully Germans seem to realize that such lawsuits shouldn't really happen, and drop them.
    Go Germany :)
