The GPL is older than Linux and the GNU software collection even older (GNU Emacs dates to 1985, gcc to 1987, bash around the same time). I had a GNU tape aroud 1988 which had GNU versions of most of the classic unix tools including gcc and bash. By 1991 GNU was already a unix system in search of a kernel. -- Steve O'Hara-Smith <steve@sohara.org>
