RMS seems to write "GNU/Linux" and say "GNU+Linux." To me, the / looks better typographically, but the + sounds better when spoken and makes more sense because a "/" means boolean "OR" in everyday language. So I say and write "+" and because I do so consistently, the meme takes hold ;-) > Why does everyone on this list insist on calling > it GNU+Linux, even when incorrectly citing the FSF. The GNU project asks for fairness in crediting their work, and to promote the idea of software freedom, and asks for either a "/" or a "+" but not a " " since that implies Linux is a GNU program like GNU Gnash. -- Regards, Dave _______________________________________________ Fsfe-uk mailing list Fsfe-uk@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/fsfe-uk
