From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Way to miss the point.
This always happens. Opensource has no marketing and when something is built on top of it, it never gets credit.
Not that I disagree, but they get the exact amount of credit their licenses require.... a small-text listing on a "credits" page buried deep in the system settings.
