One of the sad ironies of the GNU Project is that people give us
awards in the name of "Linux"--not realizing that the system they are
talking about is GNU. Where an award is meant to honor people's work,
this one actually minimizes our work. (For more explanation, see
http://www.gnu.org/gnu/gnu-linux-faq.html.) They also describe our
community as "open source", connecting GCC with the wrong movement.
(See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-software-for-freedom.html.)
I'm going to write to Rosemarie Schuster politely to ask them to help
straighten out these confusions.
