Stallman asks people to consider calling their operating system GNU/linux (http://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html). Since Linus acknowledged that the GNU C compiler was critical to the development of linux, one may consider this reasonable. Otherwise, one may ignore all this and not mention GNU in the name just as well. Yet otherwise, one may decide to get mightily angry about it, and declare to prefer the BSD license, which contains the following clause: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3. All advertising materials mentioning features or use of this software must display the following acknowledgement: ^^^^ This product includes software developed by the University of California, Berkeley and its contributors. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ HTH, Eric -- E.L.
