It's not like he force you or anybody else to say GNU/Linux instead of Linux. Just because he THINKS that the term GNU/Linux is more correct, somehow the entire GNU project is evil?

He, and his friends, has a continuous moral pressure on the medias. See : http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/opinions/3365/1/ You also may read some of his speechs, for example in an university one month ago...

A revealing anecdot : Internet Actu is perhaps the most french popular weekly newsletter (55000 readers). Around one month ago, it replaces everywhere the word "Linux" by "GNU/Linux" (you may verify at http://www.internetactu.com/archives/index.html#2001). I wrote to explain my desagreement. One journalist explains me that "GNU/Linux" was used with the agreement of Linus Torvalds. I then explained that it was false, I showed the article of Brian Proffitt. In his answer, the journalist explained that he understood my position, but, alas, that he could not change the things... *sigh* indeed...

Simply, he stood there screaming his head off about it whenever the other guy (who was giving a conference) said "linux". Short of beting him with a club, he did anything he could to force him to say GNU/Linux. Personally, if he ever did that to me, I would have him expelled from the audience, because it is not acceptable behaviour in a public event.
