Of course.  That's the name of the kernel I'm referring to.

That's what I use to refer to the combination of the GNU operating
system with the kernel Linux.

The first archived copy of the Fedora Project web page begs to
disagree:

http://web.archive.org/web/20030923215031/http://fedora.redhat.com/

  The goal of The Fedora Project is to work with the Linux community
  to build a complete, general purpose operating system exclusively
  from free software.

Everytime a piece of non-Free Software is added, regardless of the
excuse, it becomes more distant from its original goal.
