First Linux Trademark Issue?

Posted by CmdrTaco on Friday August 21, 1998 @05:14AM from the this-is-gonna-get-messy dept.

Rob Kennedy of Linux-HOWTO has some info on his site about what could possibly be the first real trademark issue surrounding 'Linux'. Update Alan Cox wrote in to say "Neither LI nor Linus sent anyone anything stopping them using the trademark they like other people have got a gentle reminder that Linux(R) is a trademark of Linus Torvalds, and affirming their right to use the trademark for Linux stuff."
