Linux and Free Software :: Another Damn Small??

Quote

Torvalds can already sue anyone over the improper use of "Linux", which covers "GNU/Linux" as well.

Why sue? I think the clearest sign of disapproval of that extended name is that Linus doesn't even call it GNU/Linux himself, lol.

This small BSD project should've done the same or contacted any of the people behind similar stalled attempts at small BSDs to see if they could use those names and move any of those projects ahead with different and more modern goals. Even if those goals are similar or identical to DSL. But they didn't. They chose instead to leverage someone else's ideas -- no problem with that at all -- and also leverage their name. *THAT* is wrong.

I haven't seen anything but phony hype and a stolen name. The claim is a distro for everyone that supports everything in 50M.

I wonder if they know of this thread?

Show me where it's registered.

Show me where it needs to be registered to be a valid trademark.

ds-bsd is not getting through the boot process for me yet, which is a bit sad on an HP laptop. Switching off acpi made no difference, some error I don't recognize.

Doesn't even look like a SysV init, but I'm not familiar with BSD.

I can get to a commandline.

There's nothing as sophisticated as a forum I gather. Might try irc.
