    When X.com eventually gets around to making its own window system, they may be in legal trouble. Perhaps the resulting lawsuit can raise enough money to get X.org development going again.

      Let’s be honest, Musk would call his window system XFree69 or something.

    The name X is not copyrightable as far as I know. There is a lot of stuff named X.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
