From time to time, I get some good information from the various complaints, personality conflicts, and bickering.

Technically, I suppose you're right - though I have not checked the actual copyright to see what apple got rights for. It's also true that, since Linux is the kernel, all above references should technically be GNU/ Linux. Since there is no chance for confusion, I don't see a point in being overly pedantic. |
