The argument about why it is correct to say that what some people
mistake for Linux is actually the GNU operating system?  I don't see
what this has to do with freedom.  Sure, they can use it, or write
something else.  But if they use it, that won't make it something
else, no matter how wonderful the kernel they use with it is.
