Why change it at all? Releasing under GPL != GNU, some GNU tools are used in |
| 12 |
the making of Gentoo and all associated tools are distributed according to |
| 13 |
their guidelines. |

P.S. Why oh why does rms take this personal objective to try and make the |
| 18 |
world conform to his views by adding GNU? note to rms: go bug Apple if you |
| 19 |
have to be on a mission, they use GNU tools and absolutely do NOT follow the |
| 20 |
guidelines (has anyone tried to get the src code to the bastardized gcc they |
| 21 |
distribute? I have and it's not 'freely available') |
