There is a big difference between Linus registering Linux as a trademark to
prevent abuse, and Linus handing off the control of the trademark to an
organisation who will start collecting license fees.

The type of abuse you mentioned could easily have been avoided by simply
registering the trademark. What we are talking about here is completely
different.
