Re: [linux-audio-user] linux audio wiki

I don't know if there's even any point in saying that I don't want to step on people's toes in this message, as it's probably inevitable. But anyway .... I actually have strong reservations about putting 'linux' in the domain name. This isn't because I want to remove any possible obstacles to the information being embraced by users of non-free/proprietary operating systems (..I don't have a well-defined opinion on that matter - although the term 'linux' might deter users of other 'free' systems, such as freebsd ); it's because I have reservations about referring to GNU/Linux (..as well as a considerable amount of other free software) as 'linux' in the first place. I don't think it's appropriate. Linux is just the kernel let's not forget! A lot of you are probably familiar with the debate already, and possibly roll your eyeballs and utter offensive terms whenever you witness it raised, but in case you aren't - you can read Stallman's introduction to the debate: http://www.gnu.org/gnu/why-gnu-linux.html . Some people might think he's just being daft, but I disagree. If we desire to emphasize the 'freedom' associated with what we are doing, I don't think 'linux' is the most appropriate term.
