No idea about others, but personally I started writing GNU+Linux about two years ago as its better English, as the slash is an: either/or situation. The GNU argument (for calling it GNU/Linux) mentions the GPL (as I recall), covering many projects, many of which are not copyright owned by GNU, so perhaps they should have campaigned for calling it GPL+Linux if that licence is their key point. (although Linux is also covered by GPL!)
