I thuroghly agree at that we should keep the name Linux-libre, but
this discussion does beg one to ask the question, what about the name
GNU/Linux? Should we call a wholy free GNU system with the Linux-libre
kernel, GNU/Linux-libre? I have been thinking about this for a while,
and I have yet to develop a fully formed opinion on the issue. I would
like to hear the input of the developers and other users on this matter.
