  GNU
The gnu is a large hooved mammal of the genus Connochaetes[?].
The original announcement was followed by Stallman's "GNU Manifesto" and other essays that laid out his motivations for the GNU project, one of which was to "bring back the cooperative spirit that prevailed in the computing community in earlier days".
In the GNU Manifesto, Stallman had mentioned that "an initial kernel exists but many more features are needed to emulate Unix." He was referring to TRIX, a remote procedure call kernel developed at MIT, whose authors had decided to distribute for free, and was compatible with UNIX version 7.

 BYTE Interview with Richard Stallman - GNU Project - Free Software Foundation (FSF)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
I wrote the GNU Manifesto when I was getting ready to start the project, as a proposal to ask computer manufacturers for funding.
The manifesto was published about a year and a half after I had written it, when I had barely begun distributing the GNU EMACS.
The only limit in the GNU system is when your program runs out of memory because it tried to work on too much data and there is no place to keep it all.

 About the GNU Project - GNU Project - Free Software Foundation (FSF)
The GNU system includes programs that are not GNU software, programs that were developed by other people and projects for their own purposes, but which we can use because they are free software.
As the GNU project proceeded, and increasing numbers of system components were found or developed, eventually it became useful to make a list of the remaining gaps.
The GNU Project responded in two ways: by asking individual free software projects to support the free X toolkit widgets as well as Motif, and by asking for someone to write a free replacement for Motif.

 Explanation of the GNU project to develop free software
The GNU project was begun by Richard Stallman in the latter part of 1983 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) when he was attempting to obtain funding for his freely distributable editor, Emacs.
GNU programs are also widely used on proprietary flavors of Unix in place of the original Unix programs.
A gnu (lower case) is either of two species of large South African antelopes that have an ox-like head with horns that curve forward on both sexes as well as a horse-like mane and a bushy tail.

 Anti GNU Movement
GNU GPL became the most popular license because of whole freedom philosophy woven around it (read GNU Philosophy).
GNU GPL instead of levelling the playing field actually creates an illusion that the entire developer society is equal, in sense that they all have similar goals and objectives.
Another belief that the above statement from GNU Manifesto focuses on is that with the implementation of new technology, old professions are bound to become obsolete (Read “The Communist Baker Jesus”- by Helgi Hrafn Gunnarsson for more on justification of Free software on these grounds).

 IS 296A-2: OSDDDI » On the GNU Manifesto
He says that he must create GNU since “the golden rule requires that if I like a program I must share it with other people who like it,” and by his own statements he was concerned about the increasing use of proprietary software (especially proprietary operating system software).
The manifesto makes it clear that there could be alternate models for making money besides software licensing and that the “software business would move to other bases of organization which are now used less often.” Stallman mentions “the sale of teaching, hand-holding and maintenance services” as alternatives to licensing for money-making purposes.
Stallman’s manifesto is successful in many ways, but some of his assertions are hard to evaluate since he presents little evidence and the assertions sometimes seem more political than reasoned.

 What's GNU? Gnu's Not Unix!
GNU, which stands for Gnu's Not Unix, is the name for the complete Unix-compatible software system which I am writing so that I can give it away free to everyone who can use it.
GNU is aimed initially at machines in the 68000/16000 class with virtual memory, because they are the easiest machines to make it run on.
That was never the intent; later on, the manifesto mentions the possibility of companies providing the service of distribution for a profit.

 Overview of the GNU System - GNU Project - Free Software Foundation (FSF)
A longer version called the GNU Manifesto was published in September 1985.
The name ``GNU'' was chosen because it met a few requirements; first, it was a recursive acronym for ``GNU's Not Unix'', second, because it was a real word, and third, it was fun to say (or Sing).
The project to develop the GNU system is called the ``GNU Project.'' The GNU Project was conceived in 1983 as a way of bringing back the cooperative spirit that prevailed in the computing community in earlier days---to make cooperation possible once again by removing the obstacles to cooperation imposed by the owners of proprietary software.

 Why I'm Proud To Be A Dirty GNU Hippy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
What was most important to me then was not getting the source code to Emacs, but an essay that came with it, called the GNU Manifesto, written by Emacs' author, a visionary computer programmer named Richard Stallman.
The GNU Manifesto explained the need for software to be Free, and that Stallman had founded the Free Software Foundation to develop from scratch a totally Free operating system that he would call GNU.
When combined with what Stallman had created of GNU by then, the kernel that Linus Torvalds wrote gave birth to a complete, ready to use operating system that was not simply free as in free beer, but Free as in Freedom.
