SSC vs LinuxGazette.net Continued

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the more-of-the-same dept.

An anonymous reader writes "To update an earlier story about the pending battle between SSC and LinuxGazette.net, it seems SSC has taken to officially asserting a trademark on the term 'Linux Gazette' and is asking them to relinquish the domain name. Interesting to note that LinuxGazette.net has issue 97 out, while SSC doesn't."

  1. Precedence claims by Llyr · · Score: 5, Interesting
    From the "cease and desist" letter from SCC:
    Specific examples of our use of this trademark go back to 1996

    Ok, but the first issue on LinuxGazette.net is July 1995, so is this claim of precedence bogus or am I missing something big here with respect to the history of this dispute?

  2. Cancel your subscription to Linux Journal by peeping_Thomist · · Score: 5, Interesting

    The only thing corporations understand is money. Cancel your subscription to Linux Journal until SSC abandons this foolhardy path. You can always resubscribe.

    The time to act is now, not after SSC has used the courts to screw over the community.
