gnu /gnoo/, _not_ /noo/ 1. acronym: `gnu's not unix', see recursive
   acronym a unix-workalike development effort of the free software
   foundation headed by richard stallman <>. gnu emacs and the
   gnu c compiler, two tools designed for this project, have become very
   popular in hackerdom and elsewhere. the gnu project was designed partly
   to proselytize for rms's position that information is community property
   and all software source should be shared. one of its slogans is "help
   stamp out software hoarding" though this remains controversial because
   it implicitly denies any right of designers to own, assign, and sell the
   results of their labors, many hackers who disagree with rms have
   nevertheless cooperated to produce large amounts of high-quality
   software for free redistribution under the free software foundation's
   imprimatur. the gnu project has a web page at `http://www.gnu.org'. see

         /gnoo/ 1. a recursive acronym:
        "gnu's not unix".  the free software foundation's project
        to provide a freely distributable replacement for unix.  the
        gnu manifesto was published in the march 1985 issue of
        dr. dobb's journal but the gnu project started a year and a
        half earlier when richard stallman was trying to get funding
        to work on his freely distributable editor, emacs.
     
        emacs and the gnu c compiler, gcc, two tools designed
        for this project, have become very popular.  gnu software is
        available from many gnu archive sites.

gnu, n.  an animal of south africa, which in its domesticated state
resembles a horse, a buffalo and a stag.  in its wild condition it is
something like a thunderbolt, an earthquake and a cyclone.

    a hunter from kew caught a distant view
        of a peacefully meditative gnu,
    and he said:  "i'll pursue, and my hands imbrue
        in its blood at a closer interview."
    but that beast did ensue and the hunter it threw
        o'er the top of a palm that adjacent grew;
    and he said as he flew:  "it is well i withdrew
        ere, losing my temper, i wickedly slew
        that really meritorious gnu."
