It wouldn't be fair to put the name GNU on every individual program that is released under the GPL. If you write a program and release it under the GPL, that doesn't mean the GNU Project wrote it or that you wrote it for us. For instance, the kernel, Linux, is released under the GNU GPL, but Linus did not write it as part of the GNU Project&mdash;he did the work independently. If something is not a GNU package, the GNU Project can't take credit for it, and putting &ldquo;GNU&rdquo; in its name would be improper.
