All of the guts of the OS are contrary to the thing that the FSF has been working toward. When you go into the shell and you type `ls', you are using GNU utilities to do the job. Granted, you may not consider them the `guts' of the OS, but now consider... When any program calls printf, fopen, pthread_create, malloc, inet_addr and many other functions, the program is, more than likely, using code coming from the GNU project. How far do you think the Linux kernel would get with no implementation of printf? How many programs do you think would run? How many programs would build with no make, shell, textutils (ie cat), shell utiles (ie cd, sleep, echo), sed or C/C++ compiler? In most GNU/Linux distributions this utilities come from the GNU project. Are things such as GNOME not part of the guts of the system (in those workstations where XWindows is considered a standard part of the system and programs depend of calls to, say, GTK)? Is the widget set not part of the guts of the system? I'd think it is clear that the guts of the system were written by the GNU project over anyone else.
