Is that true? mv isn't an application. To me, the GNU toolchain is more like an application, but the individual parts like GNU ld, GAS, ar, GCC, etc. are just programs, not applications themselves. And even then, application feels like it implies GUI, maybe? I'd say something like GNUCash is an application, but hledger feels more like a program. Brewtarget is an application, but bc isn't. Certainly app and application are synonyms.
