: I don't know what you're smoking, but I wish you'd share.

The point should have been obvious:  My table is mostly wood,
but I don't call it a "wood".  My car is mostly metal, but
I don't call it a "metal".  And even if linux was mostly GNU,
(which it is not) it would still make no sense to call it "GNU".
