Could they? Yes. Linux is trademarked in Germany and the U.S. by Linus Torvalds. Would they? To generate some billable hours and defend their mark, sure. This could be a case whereby bad things happen to people with good intentions. We have all seen it before. I know it is opening a new can of worms, but in order to run the wiki/project as professionally as possible, I suggest coordinating with the Trademark owner lawyers on this one now, rather than later under more negative circumstances when the results of your improved wiki are already committed.
