Android is definitely Linux, since that is the kernel Android runs.
Remember that Linux is not an operating system; it is one part, the
kernel.

This is where it's very useful to have a distinct name to refer to the
operating system. GNU is an operating system, Android is a completely
different operating system. Both happen to have Linux as their kernel.
