What the...?
The creator has betrayed us Sad
He has, this is soooooooooooooo unfair!  :evil:  :cry:
What could this mean in the worst case?

That I would have to pay for linux?

This seems weird for me. For so many years he didn't "copyright" his work, but suddenly he does..and wants money from the ones that use his work.

Am I understanding this right?
yes
Everyone, please read http://kerneltrap.org/node/5581 before panicking. Torvalds explains why he had to trademark the name. Also, end users won't have to pay for using Linux. It's only if you want to use "Linux" in your product name. Read the page and please don't abandon Linux because of this very reasonable development. Smile
Hey Jagni!!!! :grin:
