Richard Stallman Says He Created GNU, Which Is Called Often Linux

Well... it is.

Causes no end of trouble when I'm trying to explain to my friends the relationship between what runs my laptop (which they know as "Linux", but what they're seeing is the GNU Object Model Environment) and what runs their smartphone (which really is "Linux", but nothing that they see reflects that fact). It's even worse when I try to explain why Android is such a pain in the ass to use from a terminal ("it's just Linux underneath right?") - I end up using stupid terms like "proper Linux" when what I really mean is "a GNU userland with a sane layout".

ok, well. Whatever floats his boat I guess.

Richard Stallman is one of the many reasons I prefer FreeBSD, the MIT licence, and the BSD licences. He is an infectious irritant who has begun to turn into a more damaging influence than a positive one.

I often hear such claims from BSD users.

and what is left if kernel builds switch to clang?

after 23 years of development with C and gcc, and Linus' stance on stability over 'the new hotness' I don't see that happening anytime soon or at all for that matter.
