As I understood it, the term "GNU/Linux" refers to a distribution that
contains only GPL-compatible code.

So, Ubuntu is a Linux distribution, but not a "GNU/Linux" distribution.


There seems to be some inconsistentcy in this - sometimes Stallman's used
the definition above, but at other times he's demanded that ALL
distributions be called GNU/Linux if they include ANY GNU/HURD code.
