RMS seems to write "GNU/Linux" and say "GNU+Linux."

To me, the / looks better typographically, but the + sounds better
when spoken and makes more sense because a "/" means boolean "OR" in
everyday language. So I say and write "+" and because I do so
consistently, the meme takes hold ;-)

The GNU project asks for fairness in crediting their work, and to
promote the idea of software freedom, and asks for either a "/" or a
"+" but not a " " since that implies Linux is a GNU program like GNU
Gnash.
