it's not syntactic purity. it is hard-coded fact. what the hell is
"syntactic purity", anyway?
and really - battles and wars? fuck that. you gotta stop watching fox
news ;)
no one expects anyone to use GNU/Linux in everyday conversations and the
like, but when you're creating a website or wiki, it's only fair and
proper that GNU/Linux is used at least somewhere ... the GNU licence and
software is the most important aspect of Linux, so to diminish its
importance to a mere matter of semantics is both ignorant and ... ignorant.
by all means, do what you want - but you can have yr fruitcake and eat
it, too.
