None of them matter for the mobile market, regardless how you call them, Debian or GNU/Linux.

So what's your point? When people say linux. You take it to mean GNU/Linux. And that honestly comes out of nowhere. At my work we use a ton of embedded devices that don't use GNU but instead use things like busybox. Everyone refers to them as Linux systems.

Android is Linux system in every single way. It's not however a GNU/Linux system. But the comment you originally replied didn't claim that.

Nope it is a Java based OS that uses the Linux kernel.

I'd go further. Android is pile of OSS/Proprietary mud that contains Linux. And runs Java.
