I am against the name change. If you care why, read on. GNU has indeed made huge contributions to what's on our machines. As others have pointed out, so have Qt, GNOME, KDE, X.org, OSS/ALSA, driver writers, OpenOffice.org, Apache, Eclipse, and many many others under different licenses. However culturally, we identify the software we install as "Linux distributions" and say we run "Linux," even while we are all fully aware that what actually runs is a large collection of software from many sources. IMHO, singling out GNU as *THE* contributor above all others is unhelpful, too wordy, inconvenient, and confusing. My two cents, Chris
