I think it's pretty clear that you're arguing to have the last word.
Which is only a problem when there is more than one participant.
Your arguments have become nonsense. No one is suggesting that the
names of any applications to "GNU" just because they were built on GNU.
What we *are* advocating is that the GNU/Linux operating system be
referred to as GNU/Linux because GNU is the name of the project whose
goal is to provide a complete Free Software operating system.
But that's a small minority of the code in the distribution.
All of
the thousands of developers who have contributed their code to the GNU
project agree that the name of the operating system is "GNU".
Great - if you had a distribution where that was the majority of the
content you might have a point. But that's not the case.
If you
think you're better qualified than they are too tell them what to call
their software, then you're much too far out of touch for any of us to
convince you otherwise.
I'm not the one trying to dictate the name used for other people's
software. I think it is wrong.
