My experience is that this doesn't work for anyone. The people who understand the history and the components already have an opinion. The people who don't know the history or the components think, at most, that GNU/Linux is some sort of variant of Linux, like "FreeBSD" is a spinoff of BSD, and "SCO Unix" was a spinoff of Unix. On the other hand, I don't have any problem with the request, and I don't understand why Mr Kastrup rants about it. -- David desJardins
