A war that started back in 1983, and whose proponents have suffered many threats and losses, but also several wins. One of the greatest threats these days are people who just don't care about freedom, who just want to use the software and who would love to sacrifice whatever freedom was already achieved for some temporary convenience. People who will fight vigorously against any attempt to educate others about these issues. They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. -- Ben Franklin, freedom fighter > A war between the FSF who want the GNU part attached to Linux This is just a smaller battle, not the war. Your choice of words is quite poor and extremely unfair. The FSF is not the only one who makes this request and works for software freedom or on the GNU project, and nobody is requesting to have their own names attached to Linux. Linux is a kernel. All we ask for is to have the name of the operating system created to give people freedom back where it should always have been: on the operating system that people chose to run on top of the kernel Linux. -- Alexandre Oliva http://www.lsd.ic.unicamp.br/~oliva/ Free Software Evangelist oliva@{lsd.ic.unicamp.br, gnu.org} FSFLA Board Member ¡Sé Libre! => http://www.fsfla.org/ Red Hat Compiler Engineer aoliva@{redhat.com, gcc.gnu.org} -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
