The contract I signed with the FSF does not support anyone ordering me 
to do anything.  Of course any contributions I may make will follow 
the FSF maintainer rules (existing at the time) as much as is 
reasonable.

Currently there are 8 instances of bare 'Linux' in the Libtool manual 
and 26 in the Libtool ChangeLogs.  If one searches through all files 
in a configured libtool source tree, there are 290 instances.

Other FSF packages have similar issues.
