I agree with this, and in previous years a lot of the development effort

Calling the
whole system just Linux is arguably a misuse of the
trademark.
Arguably so, and please rest assured that I have had the 'the talk' from
RMS more than once, but in the case of linuxaudio.org the organisation
is specifically about the Linux kernel and related free software. We
don't cover audio on BSD, Darwin or any other free software platform. We
do recognise the The Linux Mark Institute and the work it has done to
defend the Linux trademark.
