        wasn't he the one who wanted people to stop saying "linux" and start saying "gnu/linux"?

        I don't see what's so evil about not having the gnu/

        i wouldn't call that an unreasonable request, though
      • 2005-02-17 04845, 2005

      • cikkolata
        but how does calling it linux hurt the gnu project?
      • 2005-02-17 04842, 2005

      • canidae
        that i cannot answer, but i really don't see why either part should make such a big fuss out of it :)

        I don't see how changing the name would make anyone seeing the name think "it's not just linux" either.

        well, when you say "GNU/Linux" you also leave those people wondering what "GNU" is, instead of only what "Linux" is

      • 2005-02-17 04832, 2005

      • cikkolata
        is it still gnu/linux if it has non-free stuff?

        you can probably think of it as a politeness thingy, like in japanese. "gnu/linux" = sama while "linux" = san :D

        whereas AS's voting is crap in comparison.

      • 2005-02-17 04837, 2005
