Yes, and that _theoretically_ means that RMS has nothing to whine
about.  There exists something commonly called "GNU/Linux," so he
oughtn't to need to say anything more about the matter.

But he _does_ keep on saying "don't just call it Linux - call it
GNU/Linux," so that fact must be somehow irelevant.
