You certainly can lose your trademark by not 'protecting' it, and when it
was trademarked, Linus specifically said this, and that *everyone* should
acknowledge it.

He also wanted to be notified of every infringement, so that action could
(as in, 'would') be taken. Don't know what the current situation is, but
maybe you should mention it incase?
