I agree with this, including GNU software that starts with "g". Actually to bringing this kinda into topic, Hugo itself is named (albeit, subtly) by the fact that it uses Go. I'm reminded of Rob Pike's polite reminder:

Author made the fatal mistake of thinking "access to source code" is the specific, concerted goal of Free software, not you know... software freedom. In a world of forced software updates, elusive and feared "algorithms"
