Today I speak on the GNU/Linux naming controversy.

"The GNU/Linux naming controversy is a dispute among members of the free and open source software community over how to refer to the computer operating system commonly called Linux. GNU/Linux is a term promoted by the Free Software Foundation (FSF), its founder, Richard Stallman, and its supporters, for operating systems that include GNU software and the Linux kernel. The FSF argues for the term GNU/Linux because GNU was a longstanding project that started in 1984 to develop a free operating system, and when the kernel was created in 1991, the kernel was the last missing piece. Proponents of the term Linux reject GNU/Linux by quoting that Linux is far more commonly used by the public and media." -Wikipedia.org
