The name GNU stands for &ldquo;GNU's Not Unix&rdquo;. The whole point of developing the GNU system is that it is not Unix. Unix is and always was non-free software, meaning that it denies its users the freedom to cooperate and to control their computers. To use computers in freedom as a community, we needed a free software operating system. We did not have the money to buy and liberate an existing system, but we did have the skill to write a new one. Writing GNU was a monumental job. We did it for our freedom, and your freedom.
