My point was you named a GNU project I named another one. The Linux
kernel is not GNU software.

I doubt that very much, on the contrary, having the possibility to run
GNU software on a OS makes it more attractive to stay or even to chose
that system.
For example if I am forced to run MS Office, then I would chose MacOS
because I can, via fink, macports and homebrew, I can run GNU software,
while that is a lot harder in MS Windows.

I don't share your promise, that is why I question also this argument.

Ok, I really have to check that one, my guess is now, but I have to sort
it out.
