SubjectRe: Article: IBM wants to "clean up the license" of Linux
Date
"Brandon S. Allbery KF8NH" <allbery@kf8nh.apk.net>
: Why should config.guess care what vendor variant of Linux is used? It's
: mostly irrelevant; the differences are things which differ on other systems
: as well and therefore should be tracked by non-Linux-specific rules.

Because redhat/debian/slackware/suse put admin stuff in different places
and under different names.

It is useful information to see redhat/suse/etc - gnu-linux tells me
nothing more than Stallman is being a twit. I don't really care if it
is redhat+gnu-linux or suse+gnu-linux, but it is a total lose to not
have the correct vendor in there somewhere.
