I think there are some copywrite issues if I recall correctly. The proper name, I was told, is Linux for z-Series.
I don't think there are any copyright issues involved here. It's purely a trademark issue. And *I* was told that the Linux(r) port for IBM(r) System z (tm) is : "linux for System z". Ok. I would tend to believe that it doesn't really matter overall, because this is just the joining of 2 separate trademarked terms (one is a registered trademark and the other one is a trademark) - and I don't see how the joining of 2 separate trademarked terms can be construed as anything else but just the informal designation of this particular linux port (technically dubbed s390 and s390x) but... IANAL ! --Ivan And now, for the legalese minded people : Linux is a registered trademark of Linus Torvalds in the United States, other countries, or both. System z is a trademark of International Business Machines Corporation in the United States, other countries, or both. IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation in the United States, other countries, or both. All trademarks mentioned herein are used in accordance with the "Fair Use" guidelines set forth in http://www.ibm.com/legal/copytrade.shtml#section-fairuse I wonder how trademark laws apply for mailing lists though.. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
