Re: The General Public Licence (GPL) as the basic governance tool

gnu.org/philosophy already defines in detail, less in detail, GNU can be 
defined like “a free-software OS project started by rms, who increasingly 
delegates on other hackers, and accept contributions”.

If you want more technical details (like “not made only of GNU software”), 
copy/pasting parts of /distros/free-distros and /s and that’s it…

The rest is arbitrary recent addition by some hackers, that’s why it 
doesn’t go further.
