Why I disagree with Stallman in calling it GNU Linux. I use a lot of programs packaged with most distros that are not GNU like openssh which is under the open bsd license and Xorg I think is under a different license. Linux on the other hand implies an OS with the linux kernel and what ever other packages are packaged with that distro. True there are a lot of core programs that are GNU but not all.
