"On the reference to Linux in the place of GNU/Linux, i have not discuss the
matter with the original author (Alexandre Passant) but i guess that he will
agree with me on the following.

 One of our goal in this document will be to explain the differences between
Linux and GNU/Linux. However this document is intended to beginners, and i
think that another title would be too obscure to them. The better way to
explain complex things is to make then as clear as possible. The complexity
won't come without explainations first. One of the first chapter is on the GNU
Project, consequently from there and throughout the rest of paper we will
refer only to GNU/Linux when speaking of the OS."



I'm afraid that cannot satisfies us. Our stance is stated at 

<https://gna.org/about/#art3> and we stick to it quite rigidly.



It is good that you refer only to GNU/Linux when speaking of the OS inside the
document, but title do matters, we cannot disregard such aspect. We believe
important to call the system GNU/Linux, not Linux, and to promote usage of
such term, one need to be very consistent, in order to keep his message
understandable.
