He, and his friends, has a continuous moral pressure on the medias. See :
http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/opinions/3365/1/
You also may read some of his speechs, for example in an university one month ago... |

Linus will end this abuse of his owned trademark.
I wonder why he hasn't done it already.

It will be a very good thing.
A revealing anecdot :
Internet Actu is perhaps the most french popular weekly newsletter (55000 readers). Around one month ago, it replaces everywhere the word "Linux" by
"GNU/Linux" (you may verify at http://www.internetactu.com/archives/index.html#2001). I wrote to explain my desagreement. One journalist explains me that "GNU/Linux" was used with the
agreement of Linus Torvalds. I then explained that it was false, I showed the article of Brian Proffitt. In his answer, the journalist explained that he understood my position, but, alas, that he could not change the things...
*sigh* indeed...
