Z:gnu-www-ja-gnu-linux-faq--c4737e-The wording of this question,/en

The wording of this question, which is typical, illustrates another common misconception. To speak of &ldquo;GNU's role&rdquo; in developing something assumes that GNU is a group of people. GNU is an operating system. It would make sense to talk about the GNU Project's role in this or some other activity, but not that of GNU.
