    Even so, most of the furor is over the fact that RMS insists that Linux be referred to as GNU/Linux, given the fact that a lot of the software in a Linux distro is part of the GNU project this is NOT an unfair suggestion.

    It's not only unfair, it's ludicrous. Linux is the kernel of the operating system and has nothing whatsoever to do with GNU or Stallman. What apps a company bundles with Linux isn't controlled by Linus or any of the Linux developers, and this bundling doesn't entitle Stallman to label a kernel he doesn't own and has never worked on part of his pet GNU project.
