FWIW, this paragraph is not entirely accurate, as clarified in http://bugs.debian.org/419081. Based on the resolution of this bug and probably a closer look at Gentoo's ports the text will be amended. For now, I only managed to write http://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html#gnubsd (which was approved by RMS some time ago) because this paragraph was slightly misleading and confusing given the existence of GNU/kFreeBSD (which in no doubt is a nearly mature variant of the GNU system, just like GNU/Linux -- but far less popular). (Personally, I can't say if a system based on NetBSD's kernel and NetBSD's libc can be correctly referred as GNU/NetBSD since I've never used a BSD system.) _______________________________________________ Fsfe-uk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/fsfe-uk
