Linux is actually much more aggressive about protecting its trademark. Random example: http://linux.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/08/15/2149225&tid=163 http://linux.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/08/15/2149225&#3... "Australian companies providing Linux products and services may soon have to pay up to $A5000 a year to licence the operating system name (warning: Registration Required), if the patents agency IP Australia grants a trademark application it is reviewing. About 90 companies with products, services or websites containing the word "Linux" recently received letters of demand from Perth lawyer Jeremy Malcolm. Acting for user group Linux Australia Inc, he asks recipients to sign statements saying their use of the word is subject to the group's licence agreement, which has fees of $A200 to $A5000 under a successful trademark application."
