Courts rules that "Lindows" does not infringe on copyright

[Force Flow]

A court in the Netherlands gave Lindows / Linspire a big break by saying that the name Lindows does not violate Windows trademark. Obviously Lindows was thumbing its nose at Microsoft with the name, and for now they are fine thanks to this ruling. There is no doubt Microsoft will haul them right back into court…can you say appeal? Or should I say Lappeal?

In a case that could have forced Linux vendor Lindows to change its business name worldwide, a Netherlands court ruled this week that Lindows' current limited use of the Lindows name does not violate Microsoft's Windows trademark.
