It's about policy ?

Yes, without GNU (in the words, but with GNU things and many others in the system), and to be short, we say "Linux".

I see in your speech how you mix GNU and Free, as if any GPL program was GNU. As if anybody OK with the GPL would be OK with the GNU Project. It is not. Of course you guess that I am less opposite to GPL/Linux than GNU/Linux... and you mix these two concepts, you use the GPL as a weapon for the expansion of GNU.

But if I leave policy to return to software (and the OS is a software), I always see few GNU programs in the system I use.
