If freedom is a real goal then I agree.

The GNU/Linux FAQ [http://www.gnu.org/gnu/gnu-linux-faq.html] has your answer:
"What we say is that you ought to give the system's principal
developer a share of the credit. The principal developer is the GNU
Project, and the system is basically GNU."

If you're using uClibc and busybox, then likely GNU won't be competing
to be principal developer..

How about calling it the Open Moko *Operating System*?
