 That's why I said GNU/Linux, not RMS/Linux.

 The belief that rms == gnu is probably even more ill-advised
 than the belief that Linux = Debian = Red Hat = Mandrake etc.

 I accept that GNU/Linux doesn't cover every rinky licence or
 contributor out there, but shortening the name to remove a
 group that contributed a significant bulk of the software *and*
 motivation doesn't seem to be a step in the right direction.

 To paraphrase Groucho - I wouldn't want to be a member of
 any club that wanted someone like that as a member!

 It's bad enough we've got esr apologists amongst us.  ;)
