I'm not sure but i guess this technology was already used here in Italy, if my memory's not wrong some months ago, during a football match there were ads added with computer along the football camp.
This allowes to earn the double from ads on sport, they sell ads for the match and moreover they sell the same publicitary space for tv watcher and then replace the first ads with the second during trasmission.
Nothing too shocking if it's only used to add ads during sport broadcasts but it could be very dangerous in other field. What's coming next ? ads digitally added on marine's uniforms in CNN reportage of the latest war ? The pope wearing a Coca Cola Dress during the liturgy ?
It looks to me like we have not enough information about the question, both the LUG and the two mens are carrying on opposite theory about the question and none of us can know who's saying the truth.
Anyway, IMHO, a private company should not own the trademark for Linux, the most intelligent things could be to give the trademark to the LUG, better, or some other organization but according to the company the right of using the name in their business, i don't know if this is legally acceptable, but i understands the concern of the two mens who could loose lot's of money and investiments if what they're saying about the LUG is right, after all LUGS has no official recognition and, as far as we know, it could be managed by people with strong ecnomic interst in the control of the trademark Linux.
What do you think about a consortium leaded by Linus and devoted to the protection of the Linux trademark and other similar stuff ?
