The GNU system has *mated* with so many other apps now that it's difficult to stop at GNU/Linux ;-)
Zlib for example is used by quite a few GNU apps (tls library, gnupg and related apps, gcj, gij, gnome, etc) but it is not developed by GNU, nor is it licensed under GPL.
Why is GNU so adamant about calling the OS as only GNU/* and not GNU/Apache/PHP/X11/(the list goes on...)* if their agenda was to give *all* developers of the OS credit?
