The quote attributed to Stallman is made up and is a distortion of his actual views.
He created GNU as an operating system. His position is that when talking about the GNU OS, it is appropriate to call it GNU/linux if itβs running the linux kernel, though he is also fine with calling it GNU.
The italicized parts are made up, the rest is true. He says so much in the article you linked.
In any case, we're repeating the same old discussion I'm tired of. Should've seen it coming.
