Why change it at all? Releasing under GPL != GNU, some GNU tools are used in
the making of Gentoo and all associated tools are distributed according to

P.S. Why oh why does rms take this personal objective to try and make the
world conform to his views by adding GNU? note to rms: go bug Apple if you
have to be on a mission, they use GNU tools and absolutely do NOT follow the
guidelines (has anyone tried to get the src code to the bastardized gcc they
distribute? I have and it's not 'freely available')
