And distributions are known as Linux Distributions. Fedora is one of many and not all are GNU/Linux or at least they put so in their name. Fedora is simply Fedora Linux not Fedora GNU/Linux. It is Linux plus all those things that you mentioned gcc ... other apps here. No one complains except the people that might be on GNU's bandwagon or FSF purists. Yes they want the attachment GNU/Linux, but others(many others are happy with Linux) not GNU/Linux.
