It shouldn't be.
Linux is a kernel. To make a useful OS, you kinda need some userspace
programs.
That userspace is what converts Linux into GNU/Linux. If you sat it atop
Hurd, it would be GNU/Hurd.
Vic.
And Apache converts Linux, GNU et al to a Web server. It still doesn't
make GNU more important that Linux and its modules. Look at Hurd, no one
uses that, and without a good OS, GNU wouldn't be known. It is offensive
and wrong to use the term in a FLOSS community.
