Always say GNU/Linux when not referring to just Linux kernel .
and say free software and not open source.
Not even FOSS.

RMS:
It looks like you've achieved a lot, at the practical level.
Do these labs teach the students the ethical ideas of the free
software movement? That is the next thing to do.
Baskar: Though I have used the term Linux / FOSS in few places,
RMS: Yes, it is disappointing. You could have said "GNU/Linux" and "free
software" yourself when answering the questions.
Or did you do that, and they changed it?
