What is considered an "attribution" or "acknowledgement" in this case?
Would those who follow the FSF request to call the OS they distribute
"GNU/Linux" be required by the new license to change it to "GNU/XFree86/Linux"
because they have given acknowledgement in the name to the works of a third
party, the GNU Project?
