Should I call my system GNU/Linux/XFree86/KDE in order to give most everyone proper credit? See http://www.gnu.org/gnu/gnu-linux-faq.html#many. Favorable or not, "Linux" has become the symbol for a whole system of free software. The meaning attached to this symbol is one we disagree with (see http://www.gnu.org/gnu/why-gnu-linux.html), so we will not accept it as the symbol of our work. I see a hint of "give up, it's hopeless" in your message. In that context, see http://www.gnu.org/gnu/gnu-linux-faq.html#lost. - 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/
