RMS and GNU/Linux (again)

[G.D.Thurman]

Hello [PLUG] Members...

The Boston Globe had an Open Source story published 24 December 2002 that 
I just found out about from David Weinberger (JOHO, 14 February 2003).  
The Globe story ends with the paragraph...

  "Stallman declined to be interviewed for this article 
   unless we promised to call the operating system 
   'GNU/Linux' instead of the more common 'Linux'."

Reminds me of when RMS visited the Valley of the Sun
during October of 2001.

Weinberger's JOHO comment...

  "Every time Stallman interrupts a conversation to
  insist that people change the way they speak, the
  damage he does to the social values GNU was created
  to support are mitigated only by the impression that
  he's nuts."

Free for All.  Open source software changes the rules.
