This doesn't really address your main point, but GNOME is part of the GNU project. Which means that most of the both the GUI and command-line UI on e.g. Ubuntu is in fact GNU software. But obviously less so under KDE.
- JulianMorrison 16y agoGnu brands it, the Gnome developers build it, and seemingly Red Hat mostly pays for it. This is what I meant by "not really".
- avar 16y agoWell, can you name some examples of programs you think GNU really maintains? It has always been an umbrella project, they haven't employed any developers for over a decade now. While Emacs, GCC and coreutils are more historically "GNU" than say GNOME the vast majority of GNU projects almost from the very beginning has been donated code or projects that otherwise fell under the GNU umbrella.
