Even most of the people who +use the GNU system have never heard of GNU, since so many people and +companies teach them to call it “Linux”. Indeed, GNU +users often say they are “running Linux”, which is like +saying you are “driving your carburetor” or +“driving your transmission”.</p> + +<p>Nonetheless, those who know about GNU associate it with the ideals +of freedom of the free software movement. That association is no +accident; the motive for developing GNU was specifically to make it +possible to use a computer and have freedom.</p> + +<p>A person seeing the name “GNU” for the first time in +“GNU/Linux” won't immediately know what it represents, but has +come one step closer to finding out. The association between the name +GNU and our goals of freedom and social solidarity exists in the minds +of hundreds of thousands of GNU/Linux users that do know about GNU. +It exists in <a href="/home.html">gnu.org</a> and in +Wikipedia. It exists around the web; if these users search for GNU, +they will find the ideas GNU stands for.</p> + +<p>If they don't search, they may encounter them anyway. The +<a href="/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.html">“open +source”</a> rhetoric tends to lead people's attention away from +issues of users' freedom, but not totally; there is still discussion +of GNU and free software, and people have some chance of coming across +it. When that happens, they are more likely to pay attention to +information about GNU (such as that it's the work of a campaign for +freedom and community) if they know they are users of the GNU +system.</p> + +<p>Over time, calling the system “GNU/Linux” spreads +awareness of the ideals of freedom for which we developed the GNU +system. It is also useful as a reminder for people in our community +who know about these ideals, in a world where much of discussion of +free software takes a totally practical (and thus amoral) approach. +When we ask you to call the system “GNU/Linux”, we are +asking you to help in making the public aware of the free software +ideals.</p> + +</div><!-- for id="content", starts in the include above --> +<!--#include virtual="/server/footer.html" --> +<div id="footer"> +<div class="unprintable"> + +<p>Please send general FSF & GNU inquiries to +<a href="mailto:gnu@gnu.org"><gnu@gnu.org></a>. +There are also <a href="/contact/">other ways to contact</a> +the FSF.
