It's kind of hokey though. I can't say on my web site that I'm a
Linux(R) consultant without paying a fee but I could say I'm an *nix
counsultant and put a pic of Tux next to it without paying anything.
Similarly, If I develop this nifty Linux(R) utility and offer it for free on my web site, it appears I'd have to pay $200.
The fee's aren't too bad and are scaled to sales for for-profit
organizations, but I do think that there should be no fee for
non-profit organizations and not-for-profit offerings.
The Linux Mark Institute is the Trademark enforcer and has the details on their site -
www.linuxmark.org
EDIT: Looks like all those folks selling mugs and tee shirts at
cafepress will have to change their designs to incorporate the (R) next
to the word "Linux".
