It appears that Mandrake Linux has lost a court battle over their name. It seems that King Features Syndicate owns the trademarks to the Mnadrake the Magician name and the courts felt the name of Mandrake Linux infringed upon that.

The following says different. :)

MandrakeSoft wishes to apologize to its shareholders for an error in its last shareholder report: The court judgment in the Hearst lawsuit does not order the company to change its name.

Would definatly be a blow to the company if it in fact does not have the rights to the name.
