Attached: 1 image Hey @[email protected] why are you sending takedowns on redbubble for generic Unix terms and project names you don't own?

It seems that the Linux Foundation has decided that both “systemd” and “segmentation fault” (lol?) are trademarked by them.

You can still get Linux 11 Home Edition free if you’re a student or first-responder.

  What you’re referring to as “Linux” is actually " [RedHat|Canonical|]/Linux"

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
