Some of the members have decided to give a birthday gift to RMS by celebrating March 16th to April 15th as 'GNU/Linux' month, and having a 'It's GNU/Linux dammit!' email sig. for this month. Happy birthday RMS!!!"

    None of that would work without...
    • The Gnu Compiler Collection (GCC)
    • The Gnu Bin Utils
    • The Gnu C Library (glibc)
    ..just to name the most important (and obvious).

    So, in a way, you're making use of GNU products every day, because every program uses them. Credits where credits are due.
