I won't argue the first point.  I was merely clarifying that the problem is 
not with "Linux the system", how 99% of the world uses the word "Linux", but 
with "Linux the kernel", the specific piece of software available on 
kernel.org.

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of 
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, 
which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to 
himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession 
of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it."  -- Thomas
