Hi!
Just noticed our main FAQ says:
"Linux is a completely free piece of software started by Linus Torvalds and.."
(from http://www.debian.org/intro/about)
This is not exactly true. We could say most of it is free, but that sounds
bad. I suggest that we avoid the problem completely with something like:
"Linux is a Unix-like kernel started by Linus Torvalds and.."
-- System Information:
Debian Release: testing/unstable
APT prefers unstable
APT policy: (500, 'unstable')
Architecture: i386 (i686)
Kernel: Linux 2.4.26-1-k7

Hi!
Since noone commented on this bug during a month, I guess my proposed
minor change is ok. I'm commiting it.
I was suggested that "piece of software" looks better than "Unix-like
kernel" so I'm keeping that part as it currently is. (i.e. only fix
the "completely free" bit).
