Noticed on LinuxToday:
http://linuxpr.com/releases/1180.html
"MontaVista will enhance the already good performance of the standard Linux kernel for more predictable "soft" real-time response and will partner with real-time Linux leader FSMLabs to offer an RTLinuxTM accelerator for "hard" real-time applications. " and "RTLinux is a trademark of VJY Associates L.L.C."
RT Linux has been the name of the RT Linux patches for ages. This seems to me to be a case of, "We can't close our code, so we'll make a generic trademark and prevent competaion"..
Were they authorized to use 'Linux' as a part of 'their' trademark "RTLinux"?
