Many Other Projects Contributed To The System As It Is Today, But They Don't Insist On Calling It Xyz/linux. Why Should We Treat Gnu Specially? |
|
Answer» Thousands of projects have developed programs COMMONLY included in TODAY's GNU/Linux systems. They all deserve credit for their contributions, but they aren't the principal DEVELOPERS of the system as a whole, so they don't ASK to be credited as such. GNU is different because it is more than just a contributed program, more than just a collection of contributed programs. GNU is the framework on which the system was made.
