Linux est fondé sur le noyau Linux, logiciel libre créé +en 1991 par Linus Torvalds. Il est souvent utilisé avec les logiciels +du système d’exploitation libre GNU. » + +I suppose we have to read others no-english " wikipedia " too ? +For example es.wikipedia : + +Linux es un núcleo (también denominado Kernel) de sistema operativo +libre tipo Unix.3 Es uno de los principales ejemplos de software libre +y código abierto. Linux está licenciado bajo la GPL v2 y está +desarrollado por colaboradores de todo el mundo. El desarrollo del día +a día tiene lugar en la Linux Kernel Mailing List. + +or italien one : + +« +Linux (o GNU/Linux), pronunciato /ˈlɪnʊks/[3], è un sistema operativo +libero di tipo Unix (o unix-like) costituito dall'integrazione del +kernel Linux con elementi del sistema GNU e di altro software +sviluppato e distribuito con licenza GNU GPL o con altre licenze +libere. Supporto da società come IBM, Sun Microsystems, +Hewlett-Packard, Red Hat e Novell, Linux può essere installato su una +ampia gamma di computer, dai cellulari, tablet computer e console ai +mainframe e i supercomputer[4][5][6][7]. Linux è anche un sistema +operativo per server e fa funzionare i 10 supercomputer più veloci nel +mondo[8]. » + +german : + +« Als Linux (dt. [ˈliːnʊks]) oder GNU/Linux (siehe +GNU/Linux-Namensstreit) werden in der Regel freie, unix-ähnliche +Mehrbenutzer-Betriebssysteme bezeichnet, die auf dem Linux-Kernel und +wesentlich auf GNU-Software basieren. Die weite, auch kommerzielle +Verbreitung wurde ab 1992 durch die Lizenzierung des Linux-Kernels +unter der GPL ermöglicht. » + + +I can't understand russian, greek arabic or mahori one one but it will +be very very interesting + +So you can see that en.wikipedia is not the better one . + +And RMS is clearly right : he knows that words produce ideas as well as +ideas produce words. +Or do we have to accept a kind of « real politik » about free software +too ? It will be very curious... + + + +Le Wed, 2 Mar 2011 09:57:33 -0300 +"Renaud (Ron) OLGIATI" <<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss">renaud at olgiati-in-paraguay.org</A>> a écrit: + +><i> On Wednesday 02 March 2011, my mailbox was graced by a missive +</I>><i> from Richard Couture <<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss">rrc at linuxcabal.org</A>> who wrote: +</I>><i> +</I>><i> > Throughout the pages at www.Mageia.org there are references to Linux as +</I>><i> > if it is an OS or a distribution, which in my opinion not only robs the +</I>><i> > people of the GNU ṕroject of the credit for the great operating system +</I>><i> > that they have developed and maintain, but also is a great way for us to +</I>><i> > wave our flag of ignorance. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> I am afraid that you have to accept that "Linux" has now gone the same way as +</I>><i> "Xerox" or "Freigidaire", and has acquired a wider meaning in common parlance +</I>><i> than its original. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> We (and trademark lawyers) may deplore that state of affairs, we can try to +</I>><i> hold back the oncoming tide and use "GNU-Linux" whenever we get a chance, but +</I>><i> we must also accept that, for the great majority of those who know about +</I>><i> Linux, it has come to refer to the OS, not just the kernel. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> To quote the Wikipedia entry on Linux: +</I>><i> "Linux (commonly pronounced /ˈlɪnəks/ LIN-əks in American English,[also +</I>><i> pronounced /ˈlɪnʊks/ LIN-ooks in Europe) refers to the family of Unix-like +</I>><i> computer operating systems using the Linux kernel.
