As far as I can tell, your insistance on everybody using the term "GNU/Linux" is because YOU want to enslave all of us into YOUR organisation.
I ask people to use the term "GNU/Linux", in order to help inform other people about the history of the operating system in question. Many people think that the development of the system as a whole started in 1991, when Linux was written. Actually it was started in 1984 by the GNU project.
If you talk with the people who use the term "GNU/Linux", you'll find that I actually have no power over them; I can't force them to do anything. I wouldn't want to, even if I could. I can only point out the facts, and ask people to act accordingly. Then they make their own decisions.
