debian?

[Brett I. Holcomb]

However, religious warfare spills out into other areas.  My concern is that 
with RMS demanding that everything that even remotely was created or done 
with a GNU tool has GNU in the name the credibility of GNU/Opensource is 
damaged.  Added ot that is the nonsense of "tainted" modules.    

Unfortunately, RMS is pushing the GNU/Linux nonsense as if he invented the 
world.  Yes, his GNU created many nice tools but Linus took the tools and 
did something with them.  If RMS wanted credit for everything derived from 
his work he should have written the license that way.  It seems kind of 
egocentric to go back now and ask for it all.
