Wrong. You’re not interjecting.

Wrong, this was not a quote by Richard Stallman.

Wrong, to quote Stallman, “The main error is that Linux is not strictly speaking part of the GNU system—whose kernel is GNU Hurd. The version with Linux, we call “GNU/Linux.” It is OK to call it “GNU” when you want to be really short, but it is better to call it “GNU/Linux” so as to give Torvalds some credit.

We don’t use the term “corelibs,” and I am not sure what that would mean, but GNU is much more than the specific packages we developed for it. I set out in 1983 to develop an operating system, calling it GNU, and that job required developing whichever important packages we could not find elsewhere.”

So, this is not only wrong, but meta-wrong.

Haha stallman has been crying for thirty years about not getting enough credit compared to Torvalds, and here he is so graciously encouraging people to give him even more credit.
