So not only is there no legal need to cite GNU in the Linux name, there is no ethical obligation either. When you take part of my statement, stretch it, interpret it based on assumptions you know I disagree with, and present the result as something I said, that doesn't prove anything. It is childish. There is no ethical obligation to mention secondary contributions incorporated in a large project. There ethical obligation is to cite the main developer. In the GNU/Linux system, the GNU Project is the principal contributor; the system is more GNU than anything else, and we started it. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
