A lot of people use "GNU/Linux" and "Linux" interchangeably to refer to the origins of the OS and not just the software that is being used. Pretty sure if you ask RMS he thinks that all distributions of Linux should be called "GNU/Linux".
Also, not sure what that has to do with them having a version of their software that runs on OS X. They could easily use libraries that aren't glibc for the Mac version.
Seems weird it's specifically GNU/Linux they support, yet they can't be dependent on GNU userland or GNU libc if they support Mac.
