Go read up on trademarks before making yourself look a complete and utter
muppet. Using a mark for its appropriate purpose doesn't always require
attribution. Sticking a mark in the middle of other things in a way that
causes confusion generally needs that and may well need the permission of
the rights holder.
The difference between talking about a Xerox machine (genuinely by Xerox)
and trying to sell your own product as GNU/Xerox is quite different.

(compiling products with Linux/gcc - after all if GNU needed Linux, and
RMS said they needed a kernel then clearly gnu products needed Linux
too..)
