Hi Clan,
After watching the thread of thoughts expressesed in regard to the JLC

this argument might had some point a while ago but today ?
why should it be named gnu/linux and not kde/linux?
I agree that GNU people did usefull stuff but so did kde/qt people
and so did X11 people by giving credit to one group we inslult another.
