    I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Android, is in fact, GNU/Android, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Android. :D

      Wouldn’t it be more like Android/Linux (or Android plus Linux) because it only has a small fraction of the GNU software / libraries but still uses the Linux kernel?

        Yes.

        In fact, it’s a good argument as to why “GNU/Linux” isn’t wrong, even if it is cumbersome.

        Android + Linux = Android, but GNU + Linux = Linux
