Why are you worried? Trademark law seems fairly simple (for laws), and
"open source" doesn't seem to make a difference here. It's just "We
have this trademark, registered on the 31 of February 2002, they're
using it without permission, and they ignored the a cease-and-disest
we sent them." Unless you've let others use the trademark in defiance
of your license (which worries me about Linux(tm)), it should be
a simple case.
