Hi, I understand the reasons behind your drive to get everyone call Linux GNU/Linux. It's an argument made over and over again over the years and yet remain a stalemate. This is the reason why most of the guys here actually just stick to Linux for the reasons stated by James in the earlier post in this thread. Choosing to call it Linux even if we understand the GNU philosophy is a matter of choice and it's a personal freedom doing so. The naming probably matter more to those who strongly believe in the GNU philosophy than those who don't, and there are probably quite a lot of people who uses GNU software who don't really believe in the whole GNU idealogy.
As for my previous assumption, it's deduced from the post you made about using the GNU name to "bring this system and the community through this new threat arise since Microsoft FUD extortion". If I misunderstood your point, I humbly apologise. XP On 6/18/07, Lam YongXian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Read everything again, by saying this i doubt you see the point here.
So its explainable for you to label it 'no point', which you can't see. Nobody say this is going to be the only way out nor it will solve every single problem with 1 name calling. I dunno where you make that assumption from. I just thought it is merely an idea and which possibility go concurrent with every other efforts, which we and everyone else is contributing. I thought if in a place where everyone is open minded we can discuss issues nicely, and indeed appreciated many useful comments made, but not all. Maybe what I have thought are wrong =/
