To me it appears hypocritical that you are speaking of “respecting community rights” where the aforesaid communities (more precisely, the founding developers who are the ones that actually choose the name of the distribution, not the later community) have stepped over the right of the GNU project to be given proper credit. Recall that the most important contribution of the GNU project is not the software packages, but starting the free software movement and developing the most important licenses. GNU/Linux distributions are only possible because of free software ideology, even though many such would hate to acknowledge this. -- Do not eat animals; respect them as you respect people. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=how+to+(become+OR+eat)+vegan
