Hey @linuxfoundation@social.lfx.dev why are you sending takedowns on redbubble for generic Unix terms and project names you don't own?
It seems that the Linux Foundation has decided that both “systemd” and “segmentation fault” (lol?) are trademarked by them.
The best example I know of is Microsoft buying up insanely broad patents that can be marginally related to Linux, getting Suse to say Linux totally infringed on Microsoft’s patents in exchange for not getting sued and selling Linux licences to MS, and then harrasing the shit out of every Linux software and hardware manufacturer for over a decade. They stopped when they realised Linux is not going down and that they depend on it for their infrastructure, and that EEE is a better strategy overall. So now they gave away those patents, and Suse is out while Canonical is in.
Here’s a great explanation from silicone valley. .
