I don't think so. Linus wanted to write an operating system. Almost everything was already there written by GNU. He only had to write a kernel and a few other things. He misnamed this to "Linux" and didn't credit GNU.
Eheh, will you stop saying that? Linus didn't even name his kernel "Linux" originally, at least not in anything I've read. This is not the right place to revise history, nor is this the hurd-advocacy list. Please, just post a URL to your mailing lists &c and leave this discussion there.
Sorry, I didn't know this. Who called it Linux then? I don't try to revise history, I only thought that this was the history.
Admin of ftp site Linus used to distribute his kernel from called it "Linux".
