The only problem I have with the term is that other non-GNU software is used in the modern Linux system (X, window manager, browser, etc.).

I think its easier to just call the operating system “Linux” and when referring to the kernal, call it “Linux Kernal”.

LAMP is good, but there are plenty of equally good alternatives that would keep us away from the world of Microsoft products.

Anyway…

Fwiw, we should start referring to Linus as GLeenoos!
(ducks, runs for cover…)

Apart from the joke, yes, I agree not many know that merely by SURFING the www, people are using maybe a 100 (surely 15-20) -GEE-NU GPLed software.

The GPL is probably the only license that is not popularly referred to as “GNU GPL” – look at other “popular” licenses – MIT, X11, BSD, MPL, PHP, so many.
Almost everyone knows who’s behind the license.
In contrast, GPL is “General Public License”.

This is real-world, common use, I’m not trying to be a fanboy or a fanatic.

But LAMP has a mystical conntation to it – bringing light to the darkness that would otherwise reign. Imagine a world without Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP – it would be commonplace for servers to crash on a daily basis and for anyone to lose credit card information and so, cash, every week.
