Date: Tue, 25 Nov 2008 22:39:27 +0000 From: andy <rootstrap@...glemail.com> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: Need to pay to use the word "Linux" in commercial products/services! Hi I found it a bit strange that the word "Linux" has to be licensed! The "word" is protected under GPL v2, as it is appear first in 1991 in GPL code. Trademarks and Patents are not allowed in GPL! The registration of the name at later point of time, and now the licensing terms are very confusing to me, could someone help me to understand better please?
