Linux - so much more than an OS

[fingal]

I found this while looking for something else ... so I thought I'd post it here.

if it isn't a photoshop jobbie, i would say that was copyright infringement.

It's not a Photoshop. The product is real and has been mentioned elsewhere before, and the legality of the name has been discussed ad nauseum:

The site basically says that the trademark is not used in a technological sense, therefore the copyright Linus holds does not apply. Nevermind the fact that Linus probably has more important things to worry about than suing a detergent company. That's something best left to Microsoft and SCO.

ok, maybe i ought to wise up when it comes to trademarks. i didn't know that.

IANATL (I am not a trademark lawyer), but again, since this product has been out a while and no one has heard anything from Linus about it, it's a pretty safe bet that even if he could, he wouldn't pursue anything against the detergent.

You've used Linux to clean Windows. Now use it on floors, ceilings and bathroom tiles too!
