What speaks for Linux
Polling software makes it easy to limit your terms beyond all reason. I have a hard time conceiving of a Linux which can function without GNU tools and I have a hard time conceiving of a Linux which can function without Linux Distributions such as Knoppix, Gentoo or Slackware (I use Debian which proves my point). To what extent can the Linux Foundation or Linus Torvalds speak for GNU/Linux or the Linux Distributions? Can either Richard Stallman or Eben Moglin do so? Why would it be either a good or a bad thing that no one group can speak for GNU/Linux and the kernel and the various distributions (Can you say Dyne:Bolic)?

It's good to hear from the Linux Foundation, whatever your perspective on the merger, however your poll doesn't help clarify matters.
