Well, it is done, because there are people out there who mention that |
| 7 |
GNU is such an important piece of the whole operating system. If no |
| 8 |
one would mention GNU and it would be only the "Linux system" - this |
| 9 |
wouldn't seem like much credit to the GNU people to me. |

I think it is a good and also important thing to speak about Free |
| 15 |
Software. But your words make this attitude sound so negative |
| 16 |
('crusade') - I don't agree with that. |

Really? I am not so sure wether the Free Software movement would |
| 22 |
exist nowadays without the FSF and the GNU Project. |
