But, Mr. Stallman, doesn't your distribution include Linus's kernel?  And
the XFree86 Project's XFree86 (MIT copyright), and several things that
fall under BSD, like Sendmail?  

I'll start calling it GNU when Stallman writes his own kernel and takes X
out and all the other stuff that isn't GNU.  Pompous bastard.
