> Eventually RMS said something like "Okay, well, you proved a point. However, this is a pretty rare occurrence; on practically all machines, the GNU system..." I mean, cool story/heckle aside, RMS wasn't exactly wrong here ... heck the guy even admitted himself he had a hard time working around the "no gnu" requirement, and had to bootstrap his own tools to make it happen. Also I get the whole "FSF are dicks for punishing sr.ht for saying Linux - Linux is not always GNU" sentiment, but even disregarding the earlier point, FSF is pretty clear in their criteria here, and it's not about labelling all linuxes as GNU/linux: > Avoids saying “Linux” without “GNU” when referring to GNU/Linux Whether you agree or not with that rule being useful, I'd say in terms of criticising sourcehut's wording, then that's pretty accurate criticism. I don't think the rule was misapplied here.
