From The Jargon File (version 4.4.7, 29 Dec 2003) [jargon]:
GNU
/gnoo/, not, /noo/
1. [acronym: ?GNU?s Not Unix!', see recursive acronym] A Unix-workalike
development effort of the Free Software Foundation headed by Richard
Stallman. GNU EMACS and the GNU C compiler, two tools designed for this
project, have become very popular in hackerdom and elsewhere. The GNU
project was designed partly to proselytize for RMS's position that
information is community property and all software source should be shared.
One of its slogans is ?Help stamp out software hoarding!? Though this
remains controversial (because it implicitly denies any right of designers
to own, assign, and sell the results of their labors), many hackers who
disagree with RMS have nevertheless cooperated to produce large amounts of
high-quality software for free redistribution under the Free Software
Foundation's imprimatur. The GNU project has a web page at http://
www.gnu.org/. See EMACS, copyleft, General Public Virus, Linux.
