I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux-
A name is just a simple reference to a system composed of interrelated and essential OS components:
Kernel, windowing system, networking tools, virtual memory, user interfaces, the list goes on…
Yes GNU is an essential suite of tools but so is X (or Wayland) and many other unnamed yet critical subsystems.
Now GPL licensing on the other hand, THAT is a foundational precept to FOSS that deserves sole credit back to a single project.

There are a number of Linux distributions that do not have a GNU user space, so no.
Thank you Mr. Stallman!

Do you correct everyone who says Windows instead of Microsoft Windows NT?
