Z:gnu-www-ja-nit-india--712170-So there is a lot of confusion/en

So there is a lot of confusion. People say Linux, and sometimes they mean an entire operating system that you could run on a desktop or a server, and sometimes they mean just this kernel, which is enough for a embedded machine and that's all. So, if you want to avoid confusing people, you need to distinguish them, use different names for different things. When you are talking about the kernel, please call it &lsquo;Linux&rsquo;. That was written by a person, who chose the name Linux. And we ought to use the name he chose. When you are talking of the operating system, that's mostly GNU. And when I started developing it, I chose the name GNU. So please call this combination GNU plus Linux. All I am asking for, is a equal mention, for the principle developers of the system, the GNU project. We wrote the largest part of the system, and we had the vision for doing this whole job. Please give us equal mention. We need it. We need it, so that we can spread the philosophy. Teach people the ethical reasons. The social and political issues that are stake here. Why software should be free.
