Scribus 1.1.6 Reviewed
TrialOfFire points out MadPenguin's review (with helpful screenshots) of Scribus 1.1.6, which attempts to answer "what is Scribus really like? Can anyone just pick it up and use it? Is it really as powerful as they say it is? And does it live up to the hype surrounding it?"

In any event, it can't be done with GNU/Linux has Linus already holds the rights to the word 'Linux' itself. GNU/Linux would be an infringement.
The 171 trademarks containing the word "Linux" beg to differ. Especially the one that is for the word "Linux" when used in connection with "laundry detergents and laundry bleaches for home use; all purpose cleaning preparations for home use; general purpose scouring powders; skin soap for personal use; perfume; essential oils for personal use; preparations for personal hygiene and cosmetic purposes, namely, hair shampoo, skin toners, shower gel, skin lotions; hair tonic and toothpaste."
I kid you not. There is even a trademark on file for something called "Z/Linux". Look for yourself (suggested search "linux").
None of this is to say that there isn't some licensing agreement between most of these folks and Mr. Torvalds. The point is, you can have a trademark on something that incorporates another word, especially if that trademark is in a different trade.
I do not have a signature
Q: What is the Scribus?
A: Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Scribus is. You have to see it for yourself.
