(I really didn't know what my subject should've been)
Anyway. I find it funny when people quibble over the long list of non-Free licenses on GNU's page, because the vast majority of them are really non-free! The Hacktivismo license, for instance, puts all sorts of fascist restrictions on the user/developer.
My opinion on the GNU/Linux thing: Someone did a review once, and found that the most code in the GNU/Linux OS belonged to GNU. However, GNU is not the only author of code. Therefore, I usually say GNU/*/Linux, which recognizes the fact that there are other authors without taking up too much space.
