That's already done. Well, it is done, because there are people out there who mention that GNU is such an important piece of the whole operating system. If no one would mention GNU and it would be only the "Linux system" - this wouldn't seem like much credit to the GNU people to me. > This is about RMS making sure that the GNU foundation stays at the > front of people's thoughts. I think it is a good and also important thing to speak about Free Software. But your words make this attitude sound so negative ('crusade') - I don't agree with that. > To think that they are or were somehow critically important to this > movement is incredibly foolish. Really? I am not so sure wether the Free Software movement would exist nowadays without the FSF and the GNU Project. moritz -- moritz@duesseldorf.ccc.de - http://duesseldorf.ccc.de/~moritz/ GPG fingerprint = 3A14 3923 15BE FD57 FC06 B501 0841 2D7B 6F98 4199
