"Fedora" is the name of our project. Our general-purpose Linux

OS itself.
1. "Fedora" is shorter and better, IMO. The "Core" suffix was
dropped years ago.
Check this out from back in the day:

Under that scheme, it was obvious that we did a number of different things,
all of them "Fedora". The merger with Extras and creation of a real
community project was essential to our ongoing success, but it also
introduced a community / output confusion. This has gotten worse in recent
years as we introduce new and different things, leading to things like
people saying "Oh, that's in CoreOS, not Fedora", where the shorthand is
more confusing than helpful.
2. Why Linux and not GNU/Linux? Linux is just a kernel. GNU/Linux is an OS.

tl;dr: 8% gnu (by some measure) in 2011. That number has probably
fallen quite a bit since then.
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux,
is in fact, Python/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Python plus
Linux :D
