Subject: Linux Trademark

As you are no doubt aware, some (insert your favorite deragatory
epithet)
has trademarked the name "Linux" is now out trying to collect from
everyone they can.

An intellectual property attorney friend of mine, G. Gervaise Davis III,
is offering to get this trademark killed pro bono, if we can cover the
expenses.  His opinion, not having seen the original papers filed for
the
trademark, is that the original has absolutely no legal standing, and
will
probably be killed by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office as soon as we
make the proper legal moves.

Please forward this email to anyone/everyone.  I'm especially interested
in hearing from anyone who has received a collection letter, and also
from
Linus or someone else who can direct us to where the trademark should
rightfully go.  Also, this effort should be coordinated nationally or
globally.
