Hi.
I do not see the reason why "GNU/Linux" should be preferred over just "Linux" to refer to the system. The arugment seems to be that the GNU project, which contributed a great deal to the Free operating system called "Linux" or "GNU/Linux", should get credited for these contributions in the name. There is nothing wrong with giving credit -- in fact, it should be done. But in a NAME? Does this mean we have to name movies, books, etc. even all computer software out there, in such a way as to credit the creators and contributors? There are other ways to do that, you know. I do not understand why *names* are the appropriate place to give credit. What's the reason, anyway? _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list gnu-misc-discuss@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
