Then you'd have to yank every God damn piece of Linux
software on the shelf, distributed on the Internet, etc...
anytime someone put a trademark on them. You'd eventually
_kill_ anything GPL being marked with anything, because GPL
couldn't be used for anything where someone applied a
trademark.
I can distribute 100% non-GPL software with GPL software, yet
I can't distribute a trademark.
Now if this all because you're frustrated with Red Hat, need
I remind people that Red Hat does _not_ have to put SRPMS out
on the Internet at all. In fact, that's exactly what SuSE
does not do -- they only distribute them with the SLES
product.
