Australian Linux Trademark Holds Water

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the trademarks-hard-at-work dept.

Seft writes "The Inquirer is running a story in response to the recent Linux trademark news in Australia which was previously covered on Slashdot. The story was dismissed as a hoax by many, but now it seems that Linus Torvalds is dead serious." John 'Maddog' Hall stated for the article that the move was not about getting a slice of anyone's action but purely to protect the quality of products that utilize the Linux name.

    This is offtopic, but I hate it when I see things like "Wikipedia confirms".

    Wikipedia is great and all, but if I'm looking for definitive information, I'd rather not go to a place where anyone can change the content.
