Yeah, it's not a brand man. That's part of what makes it great. A brand is something created to profit off of, which always ends up worse for the end user. Linux is not there to make profit. It's whole purpose of existing is to serve the user.

It fits the definition of a brand.

From the wiki (emphasis mine): A brand is a name, term, design, symbol or any other feature that distinguishes one seller's good or service from those of other sellers.

What are they selling? It's free. It's not being sold.
