I suppose he meant Android is not what Stallman would call GNU/Linux (and could actually be called Android/Linux if you will). See http://www.gnu.org/gnu/gnu-l

- mtgx 14y agoAnd Ubuntu is? Last I checked Stallman hated Ubuntu, and told everyone to stop using it.
- jcastro 14y agoUbuntu, along with Debian, Fedora, and just about every major distro have always been on RMS's "not recommended" list.
- CrazedGeek 14y agoIt's still the GNU userland on top of the Linux kernel, whether he likes it or not.
- derekp7 14y agoThis is the one thing I don't understand about the GNU/Linux thing. Doesn't calling it GNU/Linux imply that it is derived from the GNU/FSF philosophy? To me it would make sense if another term can be coined to refer to systems that have a GNU base, yet go against GNU's goals, yet still credit the GNU project for its contributions. (I hope I'm not re-igniting the bad parts of the GNU/Linux debate).
- jlgreco 14y agoUbuntu is certainly what Stallman would call GNU/Linux. Just try to call it otherwise in his presense. ;)
