That would be a misleading way of naming the two variants.

In this scenario, both versions of the system are GNU/Linux variants.
One is an ethical GNU/Linux variant, like Parabola, and the other is
an unethical variant, like Arch.  However, both of them should be
called GNU/Linux, not just Linux.

When Ubuntu proposed to do something like this, the GNU Project
objected to it.
