Correct, I should have probably mentioned more that I was GPL rather than other "open source". But I think you'll find that most of the original (of course things have moved on since the early 90's) /operating system/ tools were from the GNU project. Unless, of course, apache, Perl and open office are now part of the (GNU) Linux operating system...?in fact Linux is an operating system kernel, and the rest of the operating system came/comes from the GNU project.
This is about as bad as the version you criticise. Many parts of a modern Linux system come from GNU, many others do not, e.g. apache, perl?, open office?. If I went through the 4-digit number of packages on my disribution disks, only a fraction of them are GNU projects (and no, I won't do it because I have better things to do).
Using the GPL doesn't mean it's a GNU project.
