That's exactly why RMS is so pissed at Linux being mentioned without GNU. The funny thing is that it is the license he shipped his code under that allowed them to do this, he could have made the license say 'if you use this code you are required to prefix the name of any project with 'GNU/'' and that would have been that. If you give people rights and freedom they will use them.

If he wanted advertising/acknowledgement, he might have considered the BSD license instead.
