How much GNU is there in GNU/Linux?How much GNU is there in GNU/Linux?Posted Jun 1, 2011 9:03 UTC (Wed) by BeS (subscriber, #43108)Parent article: How much GNU is there in GNU/Linux?
Someone already mentioned it, especially today we have a lot of Linux-based operating systems therefore the name GNU or GNU/Linux become more and more important. Android, WebOS and GNU for example are all Linux-based operating system but it is a huge difference between running a GNU(/Linux) system or an Android(/Linux) system.
I don't want to bargaining about a few percentage because I think that's not the point like explained above. But I wonder which packages where count as GNU packages? If you look at this list[1] you will see a lot of packages which at least I wouldn't think of in the first second (e.g. GNOME, Gtk+. Classpath,...).

Yeah, but it's hard to do much without glib these days. It's pretty much ubiquitous. libxml is even more so (though very much in maintenance mode, it makes minimal use of GNOME libraries, and is only really an official part of GNOME because its main developer was a GNOMEr when he started with it, I'd say: it's really a Veillard project.)
