Renaming, though freedom may exists is not good. By renaming we are
trying to take away the credit from the orginal developers. 

If this logic is to be accepted then, FSF should not object to
GNU/Linux being called Linux or whatever else.

Should the Free Sofware be just copies of Popular proprietory tools,
that too in names? Why can't we exist on our own, with our own names?
