I recall when Richard Stallman made the same objection to the

linuxaudio.org name, I pointed out that our mission is very much to do

with the low-latency Linux kernel, ALSA, and other components that are

exclusive to GNU/Linux. Other people might want to build Debian on

FreeBSD's kernel or the Hurd, but as far as I'm aware, high quality

audio performance is not even on the radar of these other projects, let

alone known to be working.
As for Free Software applications on Windows or OS X, they are fine for

those users, but there probably wouldn't be a Sourceforge, or any libre

cross-platform GUI toolkits for them to use if it wasn't for the

GNU/Linux phenomenon. We haven't come this far with GNU/Linux to then

say that the operating system that people use is unimportant.
Cheers!
Daniel
