Personally, I believe his plan is to blackmail all distros into compliance. |

If you DON'T change your name, he will post on your mailing list. This will, |
| 3 |
in effect, clog it with endless messages arguing this silly point back and |
| 4 |
forth until no work can actually get accomplished. |

It's a fiendishly simple plan. You've got to admire the man. (No really, |
| 7 |
it's in the GPL, you've GOT to admire the man.) |

p.s. for the record, I do admire the contributions that Mr. Stallman has |
| 12 |
made to the *nix community. |

I don't personally think GNU/Linux is correct. I think that's a |
| 30 |
bastardization |
| 31 |
of the name, and it's doing a disservice to everything GNU stood for. |
| 32 |
It takes away from the efforts of those who've worked there, and |
| 33 |
focuses everything on RMS's attempt to get recognition for GNU. |
| 34 |
Note that he doesn't want you to change the name to Linux/GNU. He |
| 35 |
wants top billing for GNU, he wants GNU/Linux, So why is GNU |
| 36 |
more important than Linux? |
