The reason for calling it GNU (ok, GNU/Linux as the the other ports are not yet in a releasable state) is to enable people to find out how everything started and read www.gnu.org, understand the reasons, and eventually agree with them and why not, start to contribute and spread the freedom. It is really amazing how developers still continue to call it with the wrong name. Developers are not like journalists, right? By calling it simply "Linux" you mislead the people -- they will know about the genius and selfish Finnish programmer who wrote the first free kernel and doesn't object others refering to it as "operating system". They will have no clue about freedom at all.
