Incorrect description of trademark litigation
@Fabio Maria De Francesco:A recent edit by user:Fabio Maria De Francesco described as Trademark: Shortened this section. Removed unnecessary historical details
, not only shortened the section but incorrectly altered its meaning. There was no copyright infringement by a third party
but rather a fraudulent trademark application by Della Croce and claims by him of trademark infringement. Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz Username:Chatul (talk) 01:16, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
- @Chatul:
- Thanks a lot for reverting incorrect information.
- What do you think about shortening that section while preserving "fraudulent trademark application by a third party and claims by the same of trademark infringement"?
- If you agree I would write: "A legal battle, started for a fraudulent trademark application by a third party that was not even in the least involved in the development of Linux and claims by the same one of trademark infringement, ended in August 1997 when the trademark was definitively awarded to Mr. Torvalds.".
- Please, let me know what you think about it and please remind that shortening unnecessary historical and obsolete details makes space for more technical topics. Regards, Fabio Maria De Francesco (talk) 01:44, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
- Looks perfect. You might consider retaining these[1][2][3] citations and the name William Della Croce, Jr. Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz Username:Chatul (talk) 02:10, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
