Hehehe. Thank you. Exactly what I needed to hear from an FSF representative. Now would you be so kind as to make sure everyone who tries to spread GNU philosophy is clear upon this point?

What do you mean? I think you never needed to hear anything from any FSF representative. You need to tender an apology. Pray do not start throwing mud around, and then do a 'hehehe'. Get me one GNU hacker who said Linux is owned by GNU.

No. No apology in this case. I am not simply throwing mud. It is a fact. Hence what I said above.. please make sure that all the GNU fans are clear upon this matter. I was having this argument during RMS' recent lecture. No apology. I apologise when I think I must. Look at the list archives for proof of that.

Can not do it. Internet connection is too slow at the moment. But I will take your word for it.

Btw. I never said GNU `hacker'. I said GNU `fans'.

Define 'fan'. Do not start blaming GNU/FSF/RMS for what a GNU 'fan' says. Let the fans fan their opinions. FSF/GNU/RMS never claimed Linux was made by the GNU project although they do appreciate it being available today under a free software license, and not a proprietary one.

How can the FSF make sure every one who talks about Software Freedom, Free Software, GNU is not arrogant, fanatical, etc.? Even Christ and The Prophet failed to ensure this. I think "it is best to be Christ or Buddha, than a Christian or a Buddhist".
