From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Yeah 100%.
They should be given a more threatening name.
Maybe the word "global" is supposed to invoke fear (maybe it does for people who review shonky c++ code a lot).
But I don't think that is so for most people.
Better to call them "High risk unofficial theme" or something to prompt people to read the small print.
