If you read the press release,
http://www.newsalert.com/bin/story?StoryId=CnU3LubWbu0zuvta4o&FQ=Linux&SymH
you will see towards the bottom:
"Open Source is a trademark of Apple Computer, Inc."
Like it or not, but now may be neccessary to come up with some of the

Not only for Eric "Shoot Bill, get famous" Raymond, but in actual
