If you want to play the semantics game then no, GNU is not the main part of a modern GNU/Linux system. Today, apart of GNOME, GNU is mostly glibc, libiconv et al. (I'm not counting compilers as they are only relevant to devs.) Unless you stretch the meaning of GNU to "anything covered by GPL or LGPL", it is hardly a majority. -- Patryk Zawadzki _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
