I was fortunate enough to hear RMS speak during the last Linux Lunacy cruise,
and he is a very solid speaker, very convincing...
I for one never knew until then that Linux was built using the GNU tools...
I don't understand why Linus can't just say, (and thus credit) "I used GNU to
make the kernel, wouldn't have been able to do it without these tools"
AND I don't know why RMS can't say "and Linus (successfully!) took it places
that I never imagined"
Seems this would help bury the hatchet/feud whatever. Of course, I realise
that this is probably over-simplification but...it would surely be a start.
We do need unity, thats for sure...
Just my 2 cents worth, as always. ;-)
