Sorry to insist, why do we need a trademark sign after the Linux name? Could 
someone point out to me discussion threads where more precise information is 
given?

(in private email to avoid filling the list, I would love to receive more 
information from anyone).

One of the beauty of GNU/Linux is the mythological value behind the 
association of words. Without myths, men would not be able to live and work 
together. The mythological values are the basis of our cultures.

Furthermore, do we say 'Agriculture TM' or 'Wheel TM' or 'Writing TM' or 
'Printing TM' to name the big steps of Humanity? No.

So, why should we say 'Linux TM'?
