From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The fact that FSF europe didn't know Stallman was coming back, and now that staff is resigning, just makes me more confused as to what is going on internally at the FSF.
FSFE is a a separate legal entity. I think this might lead to a rebrand of FSFE because they won't want to be associated with the FSF as a sister organization anymore.
