== Confusing quote == 
 No matter your stance on the controversy, you have to admit that "Linux" is far more ambiguous. In the quote from Linus we see him say "Well, I think it's justified, but it's justified if you actually make a GNU distribution of Linux", where "Linux" refers to the same thing as GNU/Linux - the OS. The redundancy is more clear with the other terminology: "a GNU distribution of GNU/Linux". Regardless of why one may think he said this, I propose a small modification: 
 "a GNU distribution of Linux [sic]"
