You mean Windows Trademark? Or components of OS, include fonts? Do you know a history of Linux creation, btw? Unix (as architecture and idea) was created by AT&T, and not in the garage in holidays )) What about Minix, isn't it was reverse engineered Unix (that stepped in 1980 on commercial way)? :D Some time after that AT&T decided to close source codes to prevent further "leaks". But fortunately Linux (on the base and codes of MINIX) was created anyway.
