Compile the kernel without gcc, debug without gdb and basically, don't use
the gnu toolchain.
Then call it linux os.
I'd say, we need to respect all those who contributed to the gnu "project"
and that can be done
by using its name in conjunction with linux.

The replies given to this state that he was not an active developer or
something.
Its not just the technical input that matters. Who would have thought of
something
as radical as the GPL and then who would have spurred the development of so
many free software
packages? Had the GPL been not there when Linus wrote the kernel, can you
imagine what would
have happened? I'd say it would have remained as just another student
project.

Free Software is a matter of freedom, not cost. It is a matter of liberty,
not price.
