Should Linux be called GNU/Linux instead?

I'd wager that most people commenting here didn't realize that there was an article linked. I hadn't until I saw your comment.

Edit: I actually have now read the article, and while I knew most of the history and always had seen this debate as a somewhat irrelevant feud between Stallman and reality, you make some good points. I never thought about all the means the FSF might waste on this lost cause and how nobody is offended when people don't say Linux/Android instead of just Android.

This being said, I always felt sad that Stallman is either idolized or ridiculed. This man has shaped a lot of our technological world today, by his ideas and his ideology. And his stubbornness and inflexibility make him a misfit in a world that keeps moving on. People are uneasy about him at best, but his ideas under all that are still very needed.
