[Recursive | RecursiveAcronym] [Acronym] for [GNU]'s Not [Unix], a project working on the [GNU] OperatingSystem. They are making a [Kernel] called TheHurd and a set of UserSpace utilities. Because the [Kernel] and UserSpace utilities are individually exchangable, [RMS] want [Linux] distributions referred to as [GNU]/[Linux], reasoning that they use mostly [GNU] UserSpace utilities. While they use the [Linux] [Kernel], a similar OperatingSystem could just as well use a different one and still be composed mostly of [GNU] UserSpace utilities, such as [GNU]/[Hurd]. However, strangely, while the glibc, sysvinit, and a number of other crucial system components were made by the [GNU] project, the questio n of whether the majority of UserSpace is under a [GNU] license ([GPL]/[LGPL]) or [some other license | Category:License] doesn't appear to enter into this dicussion.
