although this has been discussed earlier, here are my suggestions. The phrase
"Use
GNU/whatever for the tools developed using GNU" is not there in GPL. Which
means nobody
can force you to use word GNU/Linux. But by using the word GNU/Linux we give
respe
ct to the principle developers. Without whom there would be have been nothing
of what is
linux now. We here are not talking about the specific softwares or programs,
its the
philosophy. Just like we respect our elders(calling them sir) without any writt
en
Had it not been for RMS(Gnu Philosophy), we all would still be trying to
make
proprietary(win works). I personally care about my rights.Its always your
personal choice
when living in a civilised society. The glitches of open source is that it is a
t
rojan, ie..they concentrate only on the product quality, and not the end user's
freedom.
It is like having nice food, clothes, ..every other a man can have but living
in a prison.
Source does matter,
freedom matters even more.
