+<p>The name &ldquo;GNU&rdquo; does not visibly appear in
+&ldquo;Glinux,&rdquo; so most people would not notice it is there.
+Even if it is capitalized as &ldquo;GliNUx,&rdquo; most people would
+not realize that it contains a reference to GNU.</p>
+
+<p>It would be comparable to writing &ldquo;GNU/Linux,&rdquo; but
+putting &ldquo;GNU/&rdquo; in print so small that most people could
+not read it.</p>
