Why Linux is ACTUALLY GNU/Linux

I’m sure a handful of people commented on my full video “it’s not Linux! It’s GNU/Linux!” It’s a bit more nuanced than than. The Linux kernel is just Linux, but what most people refer to as Linux today, the distributions, is GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux.
GNU played an incredibly important role in the development of Linux as we know it. As a matter of fact, in the “Notes for linux release 0.01”, Torvalds lists the GNU software that is required to run Linux:
"Sadly, a kernel by itself gets you nowhere. To get a working system you need a shell, compilers, a library etc. These are separate parts and may be under a stricter (or even looser) copyright. Most of the tools used with linux are GNU software and are under the GNU copyleft. These tools aren't in the distribution (although, I think a binary of GNU’s bash shell actually was) - ask me (or GNU) for more info."
In 1992, Torvalds suggested releasing the kernel under the GNU General Public License instead of its very own license it had been using, and did so that December. Linux and GNU developers worked to integrate GNU components with Linux to make a fully functional and free operating system.
