what about this?
my brother is a microslave, and this week he sent me a mail laughing in my face... he said linux now is paid, as windows is... but the news he sent is a total fud...
linus is licencing the linux trademark for about $200-$5000 for companies that have profit of $5m/y... so he can pay to mantain linux trademark free... otherwise someone can sell a toaster and put linux as its name...
or microsoft can do something about...

As usualy your brother like mine is a microsoft fanboy.
I really dont find it unreasonable for companys making 5m which you could probably count on one hand.
Redhat
Mandrake
Suse aka Novell
A few others that are going to have to pay some fee but it not like he is really asking much from them
Anyone of those companies 5k is something they have laying around in pety cash. I should know I use to work for a company much larger than those three and had quite a petty cash lock box.
