As others have said, you have to apply to the FSF to become a GNU project. And while being under GPLv3-or-later is one of the requirements, I just want to clarify something on this point: > other than adopting a GPL Despite it's name, the GNU General Public License is a license for any software written by anyone. Licensing something under the GPL doesn't make your project a member of the GNU project, any more than licensing something with the MIT/X11 license make your project part of FreeDesktop, or BSD making your project one of Berkley's projects.
