Hmmm. Something else to note, a portion of the value of the bannered contributions also belong to the blue swath contributors in that they are not the bannered entities, but made contributions to the bannered effort.
Piss on the FSF....an operating system is named by it's creator, and the creator of Linux is Linus Torvalds, not Richard Stallman or any of his accolytes. Just because some GNU software is in the OS, that does't make it a GNU system. That's like saying "hey, Ford used 45 percent Autolite branded parts in that car, so it's a Ford-Autolite". Stallman first tried telling people that Linus basically just altered the HURD kernel, which was utter crap. The Linux kernel was written from the ground up, and was inspired by Andy Tannenbaum's Minix system. When he got called on that BS, he then claimed that because it had so much GNU software in it, that it had to be called GNU Linux. He's full of it, but that's no secret in the Open Source community. If he wants a GNU branded system, he can get his little cult at the FSF to actually finish HURD (which is still in alpha after, oh, 20 years of testing...it sucks). Then let his GNU OS compete against Linux in the marketplace...where I predict it'll get firmly thrashed.
