If you bother to read the LMI site, this is very simple. http://www.linuxmark.org/who_needs.html If you want to register _your own_ trademark which _includes_ the linux mark, then you need a Sublicense. Otherwise, you _should_ call it Linux(R) at the first prominent appearance. Depending on where you are, your fair use rights may well mean that you don't have to do a thing. Unless you are selling stuff, you don't need to worry. Unless you want to take out a trade mark of your own, it won't cost you any money. If you do want your own trademark, then you will be paying shit loads of money anyway so this extra sublicense should not be a major hurdle. I will not be altering any of my linux stuff based on this.
