Linux or GNU/Linux?

[CaffeineAddict]

There are tensions if I may call them so, between FSF and Linus.

Here is what R. Stallman says:

Why do you call the system we use GNU/Linux and not Linux?

Most operating system distributions based on Linux as kernel are basically modified versions of the GNU operating system. We began developing GNU in 1984, years before Linus Torvalds started to write his kernel. Our goal was to develop a complete free operating system. Of course, we did not develop all the parts ourselves—but we led the way. We developed most of the central components, forming the largest single contribution to the whole system. The basic vision was ours too.

In fairness, we ought to get at least equal mention.

Here is what L. Torvalds says:

LKML: Linus Torvalds: Re: GPLv3 Position Statement

I personally think they both have valid points, but what do you think?
Should the OS that we use today be called Linux or GNU/Linux?

What really upsets Linus is the GPLv3 license which was introduced by FSF, but Linux kernel is licensed under GPL v2.
Problem is that Linus is having issues taking back code changes licensed under GPLv3.

It appears as if FSF punished Linus for not calling the OS GNU/Linux, what do you think?

One of the most widely used and most popular free and open source software licences is the General Public License. I want to know in simple terms: what are the differences between GPL Version 2 and
