You're expected to have an opinion yourself. So far you've said it is not GNU-based but then changed your mind and said it is GNU-based. There's a definition of GNU, and a definition of "based". The question is like asking how much concrete should a house have to say it's "concrete-based", it depends on each person's opinion on concrete and houses. > My opinion is that it has enough GNU stuff in it that, per the reasoning I > saw in the archives on debian-devel, it was reasonable to name it "Debian > GNU/NetBSD".

I haven't asked you to change your mind, just to be consistent. -- Robert Millan
