That doesn't make busybox or linux 'gnu' software. Besides, there are a
number of other c compilers that you could use, if you really wanted to.

Just thinking about this a little more, the number of Busybox+Linux embedded
devices, for example practically every DSL router, SIPphone or ATA adapter,
network camera or PVR, might already be greater than the number of
"Gnu/Linux" desktop and server installs. I don't know the numbers on this,
but it seems to me that all those Windows users who outnumber us by more
than ten to one are pretty often using a Linux-based router to get on teh
intarweb.

So in answer to Simon; yes, I can think of a few cases where Linux is used
without the Gnu tools.
