Hey Sven, I'm not saying that it's not important; what I'm asking is for a little consideration. This is a dead horse. Do you think a single subscriber hasn't heard this all before? Those who call it "GNU/Linux" will continue to call it such, and those who call it "Linux" will do the same. Let's move on to Moko.
If we're talking about freedom of speech, let's stop trying to set policies about what we call it. I'm going to follow my own advice and stop clogging up inboxes with this particular subject. I think I've said enough. Thanks, G

I better skip those things here ;-) But it is a fact, that a running OSS box, leveraging the Linux kernel and the GNU tools and Xorg and .. well, it's a hard thing to name this box properly. So the FSF and many others came to the conclusion, or better compromise to name the 2 most important things, GNU + Linux, so - it is a GNU/Linux box, GNU first, because it came first, and actually .. where were we, if we didn't have the GNU toolchain ? Besides, if you don't like to discuss those things, why do you jump into this discussion in the first place ? This seems not very logical to me. And it is a fact as well, that such 'community' mailinglists shall follow the freedom of speech, as far as it is related to the project. This reminds me of the very honorable dude Theo de Raadt and the not so nice reasons for starting OpenBSD ; http://kerneltrap.org/node/6 As you can see, things matter to people, even this 'evangelism' thing ;-) Have a good one Cheers, Sven
