Why no mention of GNU?

[Christoph Georgi]

I don't think it's neccessary to add the GNU prefix everywhere. Yes, 
that would be insane! The whole point is that there is no *mention* of 
GNU anywhere at ubuntu - that's what Eric criticises, IMHO. And I think 
that this should be changed. Not the names..
