No idea about others, but personally I started writing GNU+Linux about
two years ago as its better English, as the slash is an: either/or
situation.

The GNU argument (for calling it GNU/Linux) mentions the GPL (as I
recall), covering many projects, many of which are not copyright owned
by GNU, so perhaps they should have campaigned for calling it
GPL+Linux if that licence is their key point. (although Linux is also
covered by GPL!)

Cheers, Jon
