Well, the GNU activities are mostly technical, to do with an operating
system and its tools.
The FSF is about Free Software in a less specific sense, and holds the
wording of the GPL.
The FSF also compares other licenses to its ideals
http://www.fsf.org/licensing/licenses/ where you will discover that
the Apache license is incompatible with the GPL. I guess that means
that the GNU cannot use an apache webserver?

I'm separating the terms (pointing out the existing separation)
because juxtaposng the *words* "GNU" and "Linux" cause a lot of
friction, and the flames generated prevent people from working
together properly. *BSD uses far less GNU than a "linux", so from that
perspective being "pro GNU" is less inclusive of BSD than "pro FSF".

I guess "FSANZ" is basically a good idea IMHO, and better/more
inclusive than "GNUz".

I'll have a proper look at that later :-)
