I'm Matt Lee, one of the folks behind
behind Foo
Communications, a company/experiment in music and
social media,
including Libre.fm, a new
social media platform that offers musicians exclusive
promotion and play in exchange for licensing their music
under a free culture license,
and GNU social, a federated
social networking project.
I believe prefacing the term "Linux" with the term "GNU" serves the useful purpose of highlighting that GNU/Linux is a compound of many elements and has what many developers would term a "GNU Userland" wrapped around a "Linux kernel". That's why I have made it Sun's policy to refer to GNU/Linux when speaking of Linux-based operating system distributions, and it's why I encourage Nexenta to describe itself as "GNU/OpenSolaris"
