    Would Linux’s license not count as about Linux? I don’t know if this is the case here but there’s a lot of companies that sell hardware running Linux and refuse to follow the license, e.g. by providing source code.

      Philosophically, no.

      In set theory, also no.

      Legally, still no.

      Does it contain similar letters? Like Laughter and Slaughter do, yes.

        Personally I’d have little interest in Linux if not for it’s free software license.
