And about Fedora Linux, don't you think the FSF will come and say that
we have to say GNU/Linux ?
"Linux" is a shared name we all have, thanks to the kernel. However, a
package "Universe" is something "invented" by Canonical for the Ubuntu
project. Copying their name for our pile of packages doesn't make sense. It
confuses the marketspace a bit, and I think we'd rather not steal a Ubuntu
name.
