Wrong. Native cp on Linux is whatever the user decided to install, or whatever the distro bundled if the user left it at default. The fact that the majority of distros ship GNU does not make a standard (perhaps a majority de-facto standard, which is seldom of much use as a definition). Most distros can have BusyBox installed on them, that certainly does not give GNU behaviour -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
