Troy, I feel I have to speak up and say the name change has nothing to do with the license. I know that RMS certainly advocates the license, but as I see it, the name change is to recognize the software that goes along with the kernel to make a useful system. We should remain a group of Linux (and GNU) SOFTWARE enthusiasts, users, advocates, developers and testers. If the name change (which I'll say again that I'm against) gets someone to look at the license they choose when writing software, that's a good thing, but a happy side-effect. While there may be a need for users of the license to form groups... I don't think many of us would be interested. Chris
