I don't think the trustees can argue that claim anymore. Larry hasn't |
| 33 |
been around for years on gentoo web sites (znort is still to be found |
| 34 |
hovering at the bottom of wiki pages though!). Trademarks go away in law |
| 35 |
if you don't protect them. |

And it was never Larry the Cow either, gentoo had |
| 38 |
Larry the Gender-Confused Cow :-) |
