&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;under&nbsp;the&nbsp;GPL.&nbsp;Personally&nbsp;I&nbsp;support&nbsp;the&nbsp;use&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;LGPL&nbsp;on&nbsp;libraries&nbsp;<BR>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;software&nbsp;under&nbsp;the&nbsp;GPL&nbsp;because&nbsp;it&nbsp;is&nbsp;the&nbsp;right&nbsp;thing&nbsp;to&nbsp;do,&nbsp;not&nbsp;<BR>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Stallman&nbsp;on&nbsp;every&nbsp;detail,&nbsp;I&nbsp;don't,&nbsp;but&nbsp;I&nbsp;do&nbsp;expect&nbsp;that&nbsp;everybody&nbsp;who&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;enjoys&nbsp;using&nbsp;Linux,&nbsp;respect&nbsp;and&nbsp;acknowledge&nbsp;the&nbsp;irreplaceable&nbsp;role&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;that&nbsp;GNU&nbsp;has&nbsp;played&nbsp;and&nbsp;continues&nbsp;to&nbsp;play&nbsp;in&nbsp;the&nbsp;Linux&nbsp;community&nbsp;<BR>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I&nbsp;have&nbsp;been&nbsp;getting&nbsp;to&nbsp;the&nbsp;point&nbsp;where&nbsp;it&nbsp;really&nbsp;doesn't&nbsp;matter&nbsp;which&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;you&nbsp;call&nbsp;the&nbsp;OS,&nbsp;GNU/Linux&nbsp;or&nbsp;Linux.&nbsp;I&nbsp;usually&nbsp;call&nbsp;it&nbsp;GNU/Linux,&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;mostly&nbsp;to&nbsp;recognize&nbsp;that&nbsp;an&nbsp;OS&nbsp;is&nbsp;more&nbsp;than&nbsp;its&nbsp;kernal.&nbsp;But&nbsp;it&nbsp;isn't&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;really&nbsp;important&nbsp;I&nbsp;don't&nbsp;think.&nbsp;I&nbsp;just&nbsp;hope&nbsp;people&nbsp;remember&nbsp;what&nbsp;GNU&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;is,&nbsp;a&nbsp;completely&nbsp;free&nbsp;operating&nbsp;system&nbsp;that&nbsp;makes&nbsp;Linux,&nbsp;free&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;software,&nbsp;and&nbsp;open&nbsp;source&nbsp;possible&nbsp;right&nbsp;now.&nbsp;GNU&nbsp;has&nbsp;earned&nbsp;a&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;significant&nbsp;amount&nbsp;of&nbsp;respect&nbsp;and&nbsp;it&nbsp;saddens&nbsp;me&nbsp;when&nbsp;people&nbsp;denounce&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;GNU's&nbsp;significance.&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If&nbsp;people&nbsp;keep&nbsp;in&nbsp;mind&nbsp;what&nbsp;GNU&nbsp;is&nbsp;for&nbsp;and&nbsp;what&nbsp;it&nbsp;has&nbsp;done,&nbsp;then&nbsp;you&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;can&nbsp;call&nbsp;the&nbsp;operating&nbsp;system&nbsp;BananaOS&nbsp;if&nbsp;you&nbsp;want.&nbsp;<BR>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;GNU+Linux,&nbsp;Communism,&nbsp;Open&nbsp;Source&nbsp;<BR>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&gt;&nbsp;These&nbsp;attacks&nbsp;range&nbsp;from&nbsp;people&nbsp;claiming&nbsp;that&nbsp;GNU&nbsp;is&nbsp;trying&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&gt;&nbsp;to&nbsp;steal&nbsp;the&nbsp;glory&nbsp;from&nbsp;Linus&nbsp;Torvalds&nbsp;when&nbsp;they&nbsp;promote&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&gt;&nbsp;Linux&nbsp;being&nbsp;called&nbsp;GNU/Linux&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I&nbsp;prefer&nbsp;GNU+Linux,&nbsp;as&nbsp;it's&nbsp;more&nbsp;descriptive&nbsp;(not&nbsp;implying&nbsp;that&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;FSF/GNU&nbsp;_wrote_&nbsp;Linux,&nbsp;but&nbsp;underscoring&nbsp;how&nbsp;much&nbsp;Linux&nbsp;leans&nbsp;on&nbsp;GNU&nbsp;by&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;placing&nbsp;GNU&nbsp;first&nbsp;and&nbsp;Linux&nbsp;as&nbsp;an&nbsp;addition).&nbsp;This&nbsp;simple&nbsp;change&nbsp;would&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;mollify&nbsp;many&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;whingers.&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;HERD&nbsp;could&nbsp;safely&nbsp;be&nbsp;described&nbsp;as&nbsp;GNU/HERD&nbsp;or&nbsp;just&nbsp;GNU&nbsp;HERD.&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&gt;&nbsp;Many&nbsp;system&nbsp;tools&nbsp;and&nbsp;commands&nbsp;like&nbsp;grep,&nbsp;ls&nbsp;and&nbsp;find&nbsp;are&nbsp;also&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&gt;&nbsp;of&nbsp;GNU&nbsp;origin,&nbsp;at&nbsp;least&nbsp;in&nbsp;their&nbsp;current&nbsp;incarnation.&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;That's&nbsp;a&nbsp;pretty&nbsp;weak&nbsp;qualifier.&nbsp;How&nbsp;about&nbsp;amending&nbsp;it&nbsp;to:&nbsp;&quot;Most&nbsp;Linux&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;system&nbsp;tools&nbsp;and&nbsp;commands,&nbsp;like&nbsp;grep,&nbsp;ls&nbsp;and&nbsp;find,&nbsp;are&nbsp;GNU&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;reimplementations,&nbsp;and&nbsp;have&nbsp;almost&nbsp;universally&nbsp;been&nbsp;extended&nbsp;in&nbsp;some&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;way&nbsp;by&nbsp;the&nbsp;GNU&nbsp;people.&quot;&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&gt;&nbsp;Now&nbsp;over&nbsp;to&nbsp;the&nbsp;detractors&nbsp;who&nbsp;claim&nbsp;that&nbsp;GNU&nbsp;is&nbsp;communistic&nbsp;or&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&gt;&nbsp;anti-business.&nbsp;This&nbsp;is&nbsp;also&nbsp;as&nbsp;wrong&nbsp;as&nbsp;it&nbsp;can&nbsp;be.&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Is&nbsp;it?&nbsp;Anti-business,&nbsp;no,&nbsp;but&nbsp;the&nbsp;core&nbsp;individual&nbsp;in&nbsp;GNU/FSF&nbsp;is&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Richard&nbsp;Stallman,&nbsp;who&nbsp;is&nbsp;unashamedly&nbsp;Communist&nbsp;(not&nbsp;the&nbsp;Russian&nbsp;or&nbsp;<BR>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ability,&nbsp;to&nbsp;each&nbsp;according&nbsp;to&nbsp;their&nbsp;need&quot;)&nbsp;in&nbsp;his&nbsp;outlook.&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm&nbsp;not&nbsp;a&nbsp;Communist&nbsp;(nor&nbsp;do&nbsp;I&nbsp;think&nbsp;that&nbsp;workable&nbsp;Communism&nbsp;will&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;happen&nbsp;in&nbsp;this&nbsp;world&nbsp;on&nbsp;any&nbsp;serious&nbsp;scale&nbsp;since&nbsp;it&nbsp;requires&nbsp;a&nbsp;special&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;kind&nbsp;of&nbsp;person&nbsp;to&nbsp;work&nbsp;-&nbsp;but&nbsp;practically&nbsp;any&nbsp;other&nbsp;system&nbsp;<BR>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;special&nbsp;kind&nbsp;of&nbsp;people),&nbsp;but&nbsp;I&nbsp;do&nbsp;think&nbsp;there&nbsp;is&nbsp;a&nbsp;useful&nbsp;place&nbsp;for&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Communism&nbsp;and&nbsp;Communists&nbsp;in&nbsp;this&nbsp;world.&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To&nbsp;respond&nbsp;by&nbsp;saying&nbsp;&quot;hey,&nbsp;they&nbsp;do&nbsp;business&nbsp;too&quot;&nbsp;is&nbsp;barking&nbsp;up&nbsp;the&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;wrong&nbsp;tree.&nbsp;IMHO&nbsp;(-:&nbsp;the&nbsp;correct&nbsp;response&nbsp;is:&nbsp;&quot;They&nbsp;are&nbsp;very&nbsp;much&nbsp;pro&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;business,&nbsp;but&nbsp;very&nbsp;anti&nbsp;red-in-tooth-and-claw&nbsp;competition.&nbsp;Some&nbsp;people&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;have&nbsp;trouble&nbsp;making&nbsp;the&nbsp;distinction.&quot;&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&gt;&nbsp;A&nbsp;few&nbsp;people&nbsp;seem&nbsp;to&nbsp;forget,&nbsp;that&nbsp;just&nbsp;as&nbsp;important&nbsp;as&nbsp;the&nbsp;fact&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&gt;&nbsp;that&nbsp;the&nbsp;GNU&nbsp;licenses&nbsp;keep&nbsp;the&nbsp;source&nbsp;code&nbsp;available,&nbsp;is&nbsp;the&nbsp;<BR>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You&nbsp;wrote:&nbsp;Another&nbsp;valid&nbsp;point&nbsp;to&nbsp;remember&nbsp;here&nbsp;is&nbsp;that&nbsp;it&nbsp;was&nbsp;Linus&nbsp;<BR>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to&nbsp;work&nbsp;with&nbsp;the&nbsp;GNU&nbsp;system.&nbsp;He&nbsp;worked&nbsp;very&nbsp;hard&nbsp;to&nbsp;make&nbsp;Linux&nbsp;adhere&nbsp;<BR>
