Hey @linuxfoundation@social.lfx.dev 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.
It does matter because projects like *BSD can prove continuous usage of the term. As such either the trademark is easy to break (it is common use), or it can only be a trademark in very specific contexts that are unlikely to apply.
Sure, what I was saying is that whether someone else created it in the 70s isn’t significant for trademark law. If multiple entities have been using it since then without claiming exclusivity would be significant.
