This argument is not worthy of debate. It is flawed at its roots. It
assumes that the operating system they call Linux would exist in the
absence of the GNU philosophy, the license, the movement, the project.

The specifics and details of an argument which is flawed at its core
(exo or otherwise) are irrelevant and undeserving of debate.
