now, I'll concede that snapping back, like some probably do, is probably not the best way to raise the awareness that GNU deserves for having started and developed most of the GNU/Linux operating system.

however, it's ludicrous to suggest that GNU/Linux hasn't grown so much against established monopolies because of the few who take issue with the mislabeling and point it out, dismissing the huge market manipulation effected by the dominant powers.

BTW, if you use the term "Linux" to refer to the kernel named Linux, that shouldn't be a problem at all. the problem is referring to GNU, combined or not with Linux, as if it were all Linux. Linux is the freedom-depriving kernel that runs underneath Android, and one of the (freedom-depriving, unless you use GNU Linux-libre) kernels that runs underneath GNU.
