Well there is already this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:GNU/Linux_naming_controversy Discussions from the talk page have been archived ten times already, so it's obviously a popular discussion topic. Interestingly, distributions such as Trisquel aren't allowed to be called "GNU/Linux" in their articles because of the "consensus" that "Linux" is the correct term. Previously, the Trisquel page said something like: "Trisquel GNU/Linux is a computer operating system based on the Ubuntu Linux distribution, with all of the nonfree components removed." but then even that got changed to "Trisquel is a computer [OS] ..." (even though "Trisquel GNU/Linux" is the correct title shown on the Trisquel website). Also, to anyone editing the Trisquel page, I should probably mention there's no point in starting an edit war on the main Trisquel article, or it will end up getting temporarily locked. Let's keep this on the talk pages. Andrew.
