So, is it not more appropriate to call it <youe flavor> Linux? Like most
other flavors do? (Say Bharat Linux?)

Android doesn't call itself Android Linux, which could be debated in
itself. For the sake of argument it is because of heavy customization for
different kind of devices.

What would be the justification for BOSS to not use Linux as its last
name? And if the justification is that they did something drastically
different grounds up, a purely technical question is why was it needed
(i.e. isn't Linux sufficiently flexible already to create a localized
flavor?)
