<....heavily snipped....>
 Furthermore the GPL doesn't seem to address the issue of acknowledgement at all. Instead of declaring this to be a no issue and arguing against it with practicability reasons it would be more fruitful to discusshow a valid request for acknowledgement can be handled in an open source environment in the future.Egbert.
 
Which makes no sense when they  themselves want credit in the creation of GNU/Linux.I think this discrepancy lays at the heart of the matter.
