This is how the list shows up(at least in Gmail). And if you
have never heard GNU Linux, its your problem. We are in a GLUG and
GNU/Linux is perfectly fine. Its because of the vision of RMS/FSF/GNU
we are talking about free software now. True that we have Apache,
Mozilla and a dozen other groups. But the initial initiative and push
was from GNU and they have huge contributions to their credit(GCC,GDB
etc.). And, Linux, to me and to quite a few others, means the kernel.
And the OS has been termed GNU/Linux by a lot of people. No one asks
you to call it GNU/Linux. But don't force your view on others by
asking others to call it Linux.

Software patents are really bad. The fundamental
philosophy of GNU is free software, with free as in free speech.
Software patents and proprietary software should never be encouraged.
