I didn't say the larger contributors shouldn't get credited.  I object
to the FSF asking for credit *only for them*.  Asking for Linux
distros to be called GNU/Linux makes it sound like the FSF created
Linux, Firefox, Apache, Perl, Gnome, OO, and all those other big parts
of common distros.  *That* I object to.

If the FSF wants to create their own distro that consists primarily of
the Linux kernel and the GNU software, they may call it GNU/Linux (or
anything else they choose ;).  Asking for anything else to be called
GNU/Linux is pure hubris.
