Hi
The original story writer seems well meaning but perhaps a bit confused as he primarily writes about Ubuntu but also mentions Red Hat and Fedora. A clarification might help. Anyone wants to step up?
The original story is here: http://www.pcworld.com/article/164633/trademarks_the_hidden_menace.html
There already seem to be a number of people poking at the large holes in this article, including the outside counsel for the OSI, Mark Radcliffe. Do we really have much to add to the discussion? If so, no problem, just note what you're interested in having clarified.
... btw, LWN has picked it up now
Great, victim of the re-re-re-re-recycling "news" cycle of the Internet. News was so much more reliable when Uncle Walter just read it every evening! :-)
This is a good opportunity to ask this question: What's the best way to get clarifications out there? By that, I mean, what effectively puts the clarification in front of the most eyeballs? What's most effective to be seen by people Googling?
I'm thinking the answer isn't to post the same correction on two dozen different web sites.
