That's just absurd.
But if you insist on placating RMS, I propose we re-define 'Linux' in
the Mageia license/TOS/manifesto to be a recursive acronym for
'GNU/Linux' in every reference (with the 'G' being absent but
represented in the name of the Mageia distro)?
That way we acknowledge the contributions of RMS/GNU AND have a geeky,
awkward, *NIX-ish recursive acronym as a bonus.
Problem solved.
Or how about we not even take the crazytrain to RMS-land?
