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

[Alexandre François Garreau]

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”.

Then if you really want it self-contained, you copy/paste some of what’s 
already in /philosophy/free-sw…

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.
