What about bind, sendmail, inn, apatche, wu-ftpd, and everthing else.
When I look at the packages on the GNU ftp site they dont make up
the majority of RedHat. We dont use GNU libc do we? I dont use emacs.
I do use GCC and bash and I like them but Its not the bulk of the RedHat
distribution.

I guess some people think Bill Gates wrote Win95.

Why should we care about GNU so much. Is not sendmail just as important
to some Linux users. Of course GNU should get credit, just like every one
else that make Linux possible. What about Minix? Would Linux be around
if there was no Minix? Does RMS want every system that gains from his work
to give him credit? If so, why is that not part of his GPL?
