The Linux name will be charged for the Linux trademark to be registered.

According to CCID, more than 90 Australian companies were asked to pay license fees for Linux software. This operation is obviously supported by Linux founder Linas trowaz.

According to a report on the British it news website theinquirer.net, the Sydney striker Morning Post, people thought the company had received a letter asking them to pay a license fee of 5,000 US dollars as a fraud activity and ignored it. However, in fact, it is very important for us to do so.

Jon Hall, general manager of Linux International in the United States, said they have asked an organization named "Linux Australia" to handle trademark issues in Australia and have sent a letter.

In the United States, Linux mark trademark UT will handle trademark issues in the United States. The organization also nominated local agencies to handle trademark issues in other countries.

According to Hall, this is not a part of revenue for anyone, nor to restrict the use of Linux names. This is only intended to protect the quality of products using the Linux brand.

When asked whether they raised a trademark question about software patents, Hall said there was nothing to prevent enterprises from using Linux software without using the Linux name. This is true even if you have applied for a Linux patent.
