+</I>&gt;<i> Yes but on the other hand:

+</I>&gt;<i> (And there's eglibc fork too)
+</I>&gt;<i> - gcc/binutils have concurrents: clang, llvm, ... (not yet at the

+</I>&gt;<i> Same story: egcs fork, then &quot;merged&quot; back
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> whereas it's trut it was important what stallman and the fsf did, by
+</I>&gt;<i> now, most important
+</I>&gt;<i> pieces of the OS are no more provided by the GNU project itself:

+</I>&gt;<i> - several shells,
+</I>&gt;<i> - all the graphical stack,
+</I>&gt;<i> - most server softwares, ...
+</I>&gt;<i> - Even at the lowest leve: udev, hal, ...
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> GNU project was important, but it's not the biggest part of a Linux distro.
+</I>&gt;<i> Else shouldn't we be named &quot;GNU/KDE/GNOME/FreeDesktop/.../ Mageia Linux&quot;?
