RMS would never request placing "GNU/" in the name of a system that is "*not* GNU-based". We had this debate over the NetBSD-based port before but it obviously didn't bring any productive results. I don't claim that it is or it isn't a GNU variant, but at least the port maintainers should have a clear opinion. -- Robert Millan
