The web server glides on pure inertia. The libraries are not much less work than rolling your own. Their documentation is a joke.
Not really any different to the FSF, and all they really have is the userland for GNU/Linux distributions. In 3 decades they *still* dont have a production kernel.
Oh, just drop the prefix on Linux already. Linux is no more GNU/Linux than Minix is GNU/Minix. Consider that the GNU tools were ported to Minix, just like they originally were for Linux, and in the past, Minix has been distributed with a complete GNU toolchain set, just like Linux is. Linux was and is GPL, but it is not and has not ever been part of the GNU project.
Are you sure that after you read the facts - you come to that conclusion? I suppose if you have a Freightliner brand semi truck, and a Acme123 Diesel Engine product as the engine - you say you have a Acme123 truck?
You also know you can run Debian(and friends) on a Linux kernel, FreeBSD kernel, or Hurd kernel - with the same user land tools? That's because of GNU! Any of those kernels on their own would be crippled without the incredible suite of userland tools GNU provides. The idea that you don't want to give credit to a core and very important piece of technology that you use each and every moment in Linux is sad.
I have no problem giving credit to a valuable toolchain... but as I said, I've used other systems that had utilized the GNU tools... but that doesn't make them part of the GNU project. The tools were ported to Linux, just as they were to every other OS that exist for. It's Linux, not GNU/Linux, any more than HPUX, Minix, or AIX become "GNU" simply because the toolchains were ported to them as well.
Were there fewer fools, knaves would starve.
