Linux is an operating system kernel that resembles the Unix operating
system. The kernel is the main software required for free operating
systems such as Kubuntu. Linux has come to define the worldwide movement
to embrace free and open source software. GNU/Linux is another way in
which many refer to the Linux kernel. The GNU/Linux term was created by
the <ulink url="http://www.fsf.org">Free Software Foundation</ulink>
since the Linux kernel was created with the many components from the
<ulink url="http://www.gnu.org">GNU Project</ulink>.

The problem is with the part starting with "GNU/Linux is another way in
which many refer to the Linux kernel."

This is not true, GNU/Linux is a way to refer to the Linux kernel based
GNU operating system. Quoting http://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html
:

"Fortunately, we didn't have to wait for the Hurd, because of Linux.
Once Torvalds wrote Linux, it fit into the last major gap in the GNU
system. People could then combine Linux with the GNU system to make a
complete free system: a Linux-based version of the GNU system; the
GNU/Linux system, for short."
