Normal people don't care about "GNU" or "not GNU". I just wanted to clarify why this is not about "GNU/Linux".

I'm not familiar with what you're referring to.
Debian's apt repositories have a "non-free" trunk. In Debian's kernel are some binary blobs for common drivers. Both are incompatible with the term "GNU/Linux".

Did you mean, 'Yep, so "Linux" is the wrong term'?

And did you mean, 'Tell me one major GNU/Linux distribution with a "non-free" repository or blobs in the kernel'?
Debian. It has both.

So "GNU/Linux" I S plain wrong. "Linux" is the right term here.

To be absolutely clear, the reasons/motivations behind GNU/Linux are entirely political/philosophical, and NOT financial.
Yep, so "GNU/Linux" is the wrong term. Tell me one major GNU/Linux distribution without a "non-free" repository or blobs in the kernel.

Well, that's Ubuntu, Debian's criminal cousin...  :)
