GNU/Linux FAQ

> Unfortunately, “GNU/Linux” is five syllables. People won't use such a long term. Shouldn't you find a shorter one?
> Actually, “GNU/Linux” is only four syllables. “Unfortunately” is five syllables, yet people show no sign of reluctance to use that word.
Another particularly bad faith example:
> There's nothing wrong in calling the system “GNU”; basically, that's what it is. It is nice to give Linus Torvalds a share of the credit as well, but you have no obligation to pay for the privilege of doing so.
> So if you want to refer to the system simply as “GNU”, to avoid paying the fee for calling it “Linux”, we won't criticize you.
It's not okay to leave out GNU but I guess it's okay to not credit Linux??? Just blatant hypocrisy.
Does the GNU org think publishing a FAQ like this is acceptable? If so - why?
