The people involved in the GNU project don't get a say about this. I had an exchange with RMS just recently in letters to lwn.net where I tried to get him to tell me just who constitutes the GNU project so that one could ask their opinion. The turnout: nobody constitutes the GNU project. People contributing don't have a voice. The voice of the GNU project is Richard Stallman, and when he talks as "we" when talking about the GNU project, he is not speaking on behalf of any persons. So it is not his position that the people working on the GNU project have a say on the naming issue. It is, however, by virtue of their work that _he_ has a say on this issue. Make of this what you will. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum Email: David.Kastrup@t-online.de
