Let's see, modulo things which are either abriged or included in the GNU
project it becomes:

Apache/OpenOffice.org/Mozilla/Opera/Perl/Tcl/Tk/KDE/Netfilter/wine/Linux

However, you include stuff that's on Linux!

Apache/OpenOffice.org/Mozilla/Opera/Perl/Tcl/Tk/KDE/wine/Linux

Proprietary software isn't included in most distriutions:

Apache/OpenOffice.org/Mozilla/Perl/Tcl/Tk/KDE/wine/Linux

So now you can take a bunch of things you do not *need* to get work
done:

Linux

So there only remains GNU and Linux -> the GNU system and the kernel
called Linux (http://www.kernel.org).

Hence GNU/Linux and your hyperbole makes no sense! :)
