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.

Reddit flagged this as inaccurate and the mod added this:
The issue was never with the poster's self identification. The Ubuntu Community Council have been contacted and have been discussing the issue since Friday it happened.
The Ubuntu Community Council rarely comments publicly when complaints are dealt with, but the moderation team is welcome to do so.
Because I am on the Ubuntu Community Council and have been working on this issue, I am unable to comment further at this time.
So "we're not taking an anti-queer 'Don't say gay' stance"
It's inaccurate mis-information, our official policy "We don't comment publicly about policies and complaints our official stance is 'no comments' "
I'm calling this a "big ouf" moment
I don't see where the mods made them change it. (Edit: I see it now. If you check the edit history on the post, it shows who made the edits, in this case it was DIscourse mod wild_man.)
Also, why is this a link to reddit?
I thought they just went with "if you upgrade you will break it".
