I'm not mixing them up ... my answer was for question of GPL for logo
issue ... GPL license doesn't provied any protection for copyright nor
trademark.

... tux isn't trademarked and all logos aren't trademarked. But some
countrys (like Finland) you can claim rights (like trademark have) to your
brand or slogan even if you don't have trademarked it... you're brand or
slogan just have to be well known. In this case tux is well known.
