What happened is maybe an understandable situation. The same reason that moved those two guys to try trademarking "Linux" moved the UYLUG: fear of anybody taking advantage of the trademark office's ignorance about the subject. This may likely happen again somewhere else in the world, so someone should be actively doing something. I find rather difficult for Torvalds to do it, but, what about a third party association that goes around the world raising funds with local user groups to get the trademark in each place that seems to be needed? Well, just my five cents... Saludos, Alex
