"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."

dylanmrjones, you can just ask the developers over at irc.gimp.org #gnome-dev if Gnome is a GNU project. They'll set you straight.

Evidence?

I'm not going to run around for evidence. You can post it here. Post some snippets from a talk with these devs.

If they don't consider Gnome a GNU Project then why do they say it's a GNU Project?

You haven't explained this.
