So then where is it in the papers? I didn't read _every single last article in existence_, as that would be too much of a project. I just looked at whatever seemed relevant (the documents directly relating to the naming of the GNU/Linux System) in my own judgment, and I looked at every FAQ question listed and none say "Why are names the appropriate place to give credit?". So what do I do? Is it in some odd place that I wouldn't expect to find it? What is the answer?! _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list gnu-misc-discuss@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
