Seems weird it's specifically GNU/Linux they support, yet they can't be dependent on GNU userland or GNU libc if they support Mac.
- dljsjr 15y agoA lot of people use "GNU/Linux" and "Linux" interchangeably to refer to the origins of the OS and not just the software that is being used. Pretty sure if you ask RMS he thinks that all distributions of Linux should be called "GNU/Linux". Also, not sure what that has to do with them having a version of their software that runs on OS X. They could easily use libraries that aren't glibc for the Mac version.
- oneweekwonder 15y agoTrue, but then again I can not see it running on a kernel alone. So maybe on a Linux Platform they are dependent on the GNU toolchain.
- dfc 15y agoRMS would say its weird that you think there is anything other than GNU/Linux... http://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html http://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU/Linux_naming_controversy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU/Linux_naming_controversy
