And what are the GNU free distributions to be called? If you cut
yourself, do you get a bandaid or medically sterile adsorbent pad
attached to an affixable length of flexible material? Band-aid may be
trademarked and copyrighted, but that's still what everyone calls such
items and there whatever confusion there is .. doesn't really matter to
most people.

p.s. it's religious and for every one that feels GNU should be the sole
title bearer, there is another that feels they should not.

There is a clear distinction between the meanings of the two terms. Linux is
just the kernel, while GNU/Linux is the OS, meaning kernel, tools, libraries
etc.
If you use the term Linux for both, then you have ambiguity and can cause
confusion. Nothing religious here, just the practical need to avoid ambuguity.
