The Linux Foundation has made some analyzation the past two years into just how much code is being added to the project and who is doing that contribution. This year's report is out, and the results are actually quite smile-worthy if you're a Linux advocate: the increase in code contributions is phenomenal, the rate at which these contributions are being submitted is faster, and there are more individual developers than previously.

Android for example is a mixture out of Linux kernel, libc from NetBSD/OpenBSD, GNU/BSD-userland. The latter is by the way true for many well-known Linux distros. So maybe you should call these distros GNU/BSD/Linux ;-) It's in my opinion a silly approach, but maybe it's some fun for Stallman and other zealots.
