1. This post is inappropriate for LIH. Most such discussions happen on
linux-india-general. Please refer to the archives.
2. This issue has been very divisive among Linux users - as are a lot
of the political positions of the GNU project.
3. You should use GNU/Linux, if you agree with GNU project's statements.
Some people do, and they use it. Some people don't (me included) and
don't use it. Again refer to the archives for the arguments from
both sides.
4. Most commercial distributions don't use GNU/Linux. Debian does and
so does VA Linux, the owner of linux.com.
