Over time, calling the system &ldquo;GNU/Linux&rdquo; spreads awareness of the ideals of freedom for which we developed the GNU system. It is also useful as a reminder for people in our community who know about these ideals, in a world where much of discussion of free software takes a totally practical (and thus amoral) approach. When we ask you to call the system &ldquo;GNU/Linux&rdquo;, we do so because awareness of GNU slowly but surely brings with it awareness of the free software ideals of freedom and community.
