Similar to "US" being a shorter version of "USA".

you should read up on what GNU actually means. X, Gnome and KDE are not GNU
software.

try this: http://www.gnome.org/about/

``GNOME is Free Software and part of the GNU project, dedicated to
giving users and developers the ultimate level of control over their
