Well since the kernel is Linux and calling Ubuntu a Linux based OS is like saying Windows is NT based or OSX is BSD based. Maybe that's why people (Linus included) simply just use the Linux name. [...]

Hm, perhaps that's why they say "NT" and "BSD" instead of Windows and OSX, too. Stupid.

"Ubuntu" is not only that, it's a *redistribution* of GNU+Linux allowed by their licenses -- which was created by Stallman and, later, FSF!! Windows and OSX are not redistributed, their developers chose to not allow it. The question do not resumes itself to one or another technological reasons.

[...] GNU served as tools for the future OS [...]
AFAIK, this "future" OS is GNU/Linux. GNU doesn't turned itself onto a mere tool of it, but its own main constitution, running on top of another necessary one.

[...] the GNU camp should be thankful for Linux
Did you read what Magic Banana wrote right before you? See, again: To give credit to Linus Torvalds, at the origin of the most important contribution, the FSF appends "/Linux" to the name. Who is pretentious?

If you have difficult in reading, try writing each letter to a paper and consulting a dictionary. You could also ask your parents/teachers where the hell they were when you learned to read.

[...] Hurd would have been a complete GNU based OS and worthy of the GNU/ connection. [...] Hm, no. There would be no need of appending "/$KERNEL" to "GNU", since Hurd and Mach are already from the GNU project. "/Linux" is appended because it isn't. Where the hell did you learn your diabolic logic? That's trying to rewrite the past.

[...] The GNU namesake tied to Linux is still highly debatable and subjective to this day. You are inverting the whole thing. "/Linux" is tied to "GNU", not the contrary. That's both historically and logically correct. And "this matter is highly debatable and subjective", when applied to very objective matters (did you ever read FSF statements on that? You appear to not listen to nobody), like the correct naming of things according to their reality, is only a subterfuge designated to weak the listener. Again: shame on you.
