    There’s quite a few Linux distributions or whatever you want to call it that aren’t associated with GNU or are not based on GNU software

        So calling those which are just as open but not associated with GNU GNU/Linux is disingenuous, despite the influence of the GNU organization

            The person I replied to specifically said

            Therefore, in technical discussions, I use the word "Linux" to refer to the OS, as "this software is compatible with Linux". But, when I want to stress out software freedom, given a large influence of the GNU project, I say "GNU/Linux".

            So they use GNU/Linux to refer to any open system
