- ska 11y agoI can't see how that matches up with any definition of "subvert" I'm familiar with. There are reasonable argument pro and con the whole "Gnu Linux" thing, many of them silly and some cogent. But nobody was subverting (or attempting to) anything that I can see.
- baldfat 11y ago> Sunvert (def) undermine the power and authority Seemed like it was to undermine Linus and place GNU on the same level as Linux kernel. (hurd) Don't get me wrong RMS is someone I am glad is alive and engaged with the community but I disagree with him most of the time.
- ska 11y agoSeemed like it was to undermine Linus and place GNU on the same level as Linux kernel. I don't agree with your characterization at all, but let's not go over old ground.
- dkuntz2 11y agoThat's not really the GPL though, that's just because very few people run Linux without also running countless GNU utilities. The people that argue for calling it GNU + Linux don't bring the GPL into it at all.
