This is not the case with Linux. GNU tools sit at the same status as other applications. For most people, the GNU tools don't even matter, they run other applications. Most of the userland tools can be replaced with busybox too.
Busybox doesn't give you a compiler, libraries. I dont agree that GNU sits with other applications. Other applications don't exist without GNU. *Can you explain how they can exist without GNU?* If this dependency is claimed falsely, I will correct myself. In fact most of the applications, including GNU exist without Linux, because they can depend on other kernels.
I am not. I am reading it specifically as a branding issue, where the FSF is actually losing ground by insisting on the term GNU/Linux. No one part of the userland should claim dominance over the whole.
Your perception that GNU is userland is dubious. In order to prove otherwise, you have to explain the above question. Nagarjuna -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
