+It's just Linux. GNU is completely unrelated to Linux, which is a + kernel developed by Linus Torvalds. Linux can be used entirely without + GNU software in userspace, and the kernel can be compiled without the + use of GNU tools. Just because GNU tools were used to initally develop + and compile the kernel, and were initially the only available tools for + userspace, does not make this true today, and it never made GNU a part + of Linux itself at any point of time. Where are all of the other + forward-slashes for every other piece of software on your Linux-based + system which makes it just as usable? If you're using "GNU/Linux", you + should be using more than a single forward-slash when there is more to + your system than only GNU.
No. If code is not released under an open-source license and + places restrictions on how the code may be used, it is either + source-available (if viewing the code is permitted) or + proprietary. "Free software" only causes confusion and exists to + push an ideology by a specific group of people. If software + isn't "free", it's not open-source, either.
