I see Richard Stallman has been accused of saying some non-politically-correct thing again.— oioiiooixiii (@oioiiooixiii) February 2, 2016
And [but] tomorrow I will hear how the FSF is nothing but a bunch of SJWs, on a crusade of Political Correctness, rallying against Free Speech.— oioiiooixiii (@oioiiooixiii) February 2, 2016

Ian Murdock: "The reason I abhor the term [GNU/Linux] now, it has very clearly been rejected by the larger community"https://www.linux.com/news/special-feature/stories-of-linux/465353-stories-of-linux-interview-with-ian-murdock-on-debians-early-days— oioiiooixiii (@oioiiooixiii) January 13, 2016
Longer quote regarding Murdock's abhorrence of the term "GNU/Linux":
Debian is still known as "Debian GNU/Linux," rather than simply "Debian Linux." Today, Murdock says that he "abhors" the term GNU/Linux, but at the time it made sense. "Even before I worked for the FSF, Richard [Stallman] called me one evening and said 'I'm concerned about fragmentation, and I'd like to make a statement that Linux is part of the larger GNU Project."related: http://oioiiooixiii.blogspot.com/2016/04/jobs-banksy-stallman.html
Murdock says that at the time, fragmentation was a major concern. "There was the libc at the time was a fork from glibc, there were a few other examples — the Linux community had taken GNU software and ran with it, and were not doing a particularly good job of coordinating with upstream GNU maintainers... who couldn't move quickly enough given the pace with which Linux was evolving. Some just gave up on coordinating as a result of that."
As a result, Murdock says that "I thought his argument was reasonable, and I thought his concern about fragmentation was quite valid, so I said 'sure.'" But things have changed, says Murdock. "The reason I abhor the term now, it has very clearly been rejected by the larger community. To insist on continuing to call it something the larger community doesn't use, it seems to me to be a bit pointless."
