      8 The GNU Project was launched in 1984 to develop a complete Unix-like
      9 operating system which is free software: the GNU system.  (GNU is a
     10 recursive acronym for ``GNU's Not Unix''; it is pronounced
     11 ``guh-NEW''@.)  Variants of the GNU operating system, which use the
     12 kernel Linux, are now widely used; though these systems are often
     13 referred to as ``Linux'', they are more accurately called GNU/Linux
     14 systems.
