My apology then. I should have added 'help' in front of 'bring this system and the community through this new threat arise since Microsoft FUD extortion'.
For James' post I have addressed it earlier on, so I would do it anymore. Its really not about whether we know it or not. It is about the amount of misconception it can cause, basically in terms of social psychology. Just like how corporations marketing partial/hardly-open-source products under the 'Open Source' banner. Anyway, I appreciate your understanding. Thanks.
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
