Linux (no matter what it may be called at the time, or who is its current poster boy) is now too big to be nailed down by any one company or even any one country.
Microsoft may, in fact, end up owning the name 'Linux' and proclaim that it is the 'one, true owner'. That will not stop Linux from being forked into another cloned project with a different name and letting 'Linux (TM)' wither on the vine.

As always, follow the money.
