This is just your assumption, who is asking any one to credit GNU for a non GNU project? The system is indeed GNU system with Linux as a kernel. When the kernel was completed, the only thing you need is to add is the GNU system to make it an OS. And the kernel was also completed using GNU tools. Under such a situation, why do you think we are asking for a thing that we didn't deserve?
Hehehe. Thank you. Exactly what I needed to hear from an FSF representative. Now would you be so kind as to make sure everyone who tries to spread GNU philosophy is clear upon this point?
What do you mean? I think you never needed to hear anything from any FSF representative. You need to tender an apology. Pray do not start throwing mud around, and then do a 'hehehe'. Get me one GNU hacker who said Linux is owned by GNU.
No. No apology in this case. I am not simply throwing mud. It is a fact. Hence what I said above.. please make sure that all the GNU fans are clear upon this matter. I was having this argument during RMS' recent lecture. No apology. I apologise when I think I must. Look at the list archives for proof of that.
Btw. I never said GNU `hacker'. I said GNU `fans'.
