	To avoid confusion, we use "GNU/Linux" to refer to operating system distributions that include <a href="https://www.gnu.org/" rel="external">GNU</a> software and the <a href="https://www.kernel.org/" rel="external">Linux kernel</a>. When we use "Linux" without the GNU part, we refer to the kernel.
	And what has that software to do with a GNU?
	When Richard Stallman started to design GNU, the main system in use was Unix, which is proprietary. Because GNU is similar in function to (and compatible with) Unix, but is <a href="https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html" rel="external">free software</a>, he coined the term GNU which stands for <strong>GNU's Not Unix</strong>. It's a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recursive_acronym" rel="external">recursive acronym</a>. If you enjoy that kind of humour, check out what <a href="https://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/hurd.html" rel="external">GNU Hurd</a> means.
	Is Linux a registered trademark?	Eίναι χαρακτηριστικά αναγνωρισμένο το Linux?
	Yes. You cannot sell any random software under the name of Linux®. The trademark is held by <a href="https://www.linuxfoundation.org/the-linux-mark/" rel="external">the Linux Mark Institute</a>.
	Is GNU/Linux the only free operating system available?	Είναι το GNU/Linux το μοναδικό ελεύθερο λογισμικό?
	No. GNU/Linux is by far the most widely used free system; however a number of other systems exist.	Όχι.Έιναι το GNU/Linux ευρέως γνωστό σαν ελεύθερο λογισμικό; υπάρχουν και κάποια άλλα συστήματα.
	These include the UNIX derivatives <a href="https://www.freebsd.org/" rel="external">FreeBSD</a>, <a href="https://netbsd.org/" rel="external">NetBSD</a>, <a href="https://www.openbsd.org/" rel="external">OpenBSD</a>, the BeOS clone <a href="https://haiku-os.org/" rel="external">Haiku OS</a>, the Windows NT clone <a href="https://reactos.org/" rel="external">ReactOS</a>, the DOS clone <a href="http://www.freedos.org/" rel="external">FreeDOS</a>, and <a href="https://www.syllable.org/" rel="external">Syllable</a>, just to name a few.
	Is macOS a distribution of GNU/Linux?
	No. There are a few <a href="https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html" rel="external">free software</a> components in macOS, and it is technically similar to GNU/Linux systems. But overall, it is proprietary software: all the <a href="%s">issues about Windows</a> apply to it as well.
