The Linux Foundation has become a patent troll
(bladerunner.social)
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.

The complaint is not about the terms "systemd" and "segmentation fault." Those are the titles of the affected artworks. Presumably the artworks themselves contain some trademarked property.
Also, this is utterly unrelated to patents.
The content isn't anything to write home about. I don't really get it.
Thanks for finding these. I couldn't see them, so I assumed they were removed in response to the complaint.
You're right, there doesn't appear to be anything here to object to.
I can understand
Systemd
being trademarked, but does the Linux Foundation own the trademark for Systemd..? Surely not. I'd think Red Hat before I thought Linux Foundation.
