We at SuSE are concerned about the Linux name issues worldwide. SuSE even works together with Linus Torvalds to mantain the rights of the name Linux. Therefore we will talk to the Uruguayan reseller and find a solution for this issue.
The open letter sounds very agressive and desperate. Please don't forget: A "reseller" buys software packages and re-sells them. And that's it.
Can I just point out here that this does not in any way reflect SuSE Linux's Marketing strategy. We are not here to try to control the trademark. We have permission to use the name Linux in our products. (And yes, I do work for them.)

Why didn't he just get a limo?! :)
Bit awkward if you're trying to drive at the same time. Do what the Navy does. Fit a HUD to cars... Maybe we'll gain the weaponry then too. :)
Does this mean that soon they'll make cars with GPS and Sat Nav that actually works properly? Hell, maybe it'll help us get around London...
