Calling Linux as GNU/Linux is exactly same as calling a man by his son's
name. If you have a windows machine full of Adobe software, would you call
it Adobe/Windows? Would you call Apple's Mac OS X as BSD/OS X?

If you call Ubuntu a GNU/Linux you are violating GNU license. Ubuntu and
all other popular/usable distros use binary blobs all around. So you can
NEVER call them GNU/Linux.

I respect Richard Stallman and GNU. But forcing people to use there name is
just stupid. You can run Linux without gnu tools. There are lots of distros
with hybrid BSD-Linux, Solarix-Linux etc. Just because some necessary tools
from GNU runs on top of Linux kernel does not make it essential
to prepend their name.
