Specious argument.  If not for Intel and IBM and Andrew
Tannenbaum and Bell Labs and ... there could be no Linux
kernel either.  Everyone knows that everything has complex
connections and history.  "GNU/Linux" is primarily a PR
move, and a shrill insistence that GNU be in the name is as
annoying as the "Intel Inside" marketing campaign.  What's
the next target?  GNU/Mac-OS-X?
