"This famous controversy is there ever since I became aware of operating systems known as GNU/Linux. The GNU General Public License, which is used by Linux as well as most GNU software, armors both characters. GNU/Linux is the term coined by the Free Software Foundation, Richard Stallman and people who support FSF, for operating systems composed of the FSF's GNU software and the Linux kernel; such systems are generally called Linux."

We've been telling you it is part of the GNU project, but you insist we are FUD mongers. Even the GNOME Foundations says GNOME is part of the GNU project. What more evidence do you need?
It's not part of the GNU project, because it's not a GNU project. Once again, why does the Gnome foundation exist if it's a GNU project?

Crap! Are you being intentionally obtuse? See the link below. Out of curiosity, do you know what the "G" in GNOME stands for?

If Gnome is a GNU project then why is there a Gnome Foundation? It would just be another project under FSF.
