GNU, which is a recursive acronym that stands for GNU is Not Unix, first set out in 1984 to develop a Unix-like operating system as Free Software.

It is now gearing up to provide a "free" version of Mozilla's (not-so-free) Firefox browser. The GNU version is called IceWeasel and is part of the GNUzilla effort from GNU. The Free Software Foundation (FSF) is the principal sponsor of the GNU Project.

Not free because the logo is trademarked? You didn't pay for it, so it is free Skippy!

Is this for real? I guess nerds will squabble over anything... Laughing

OK... so let me get this straight.... They are using all of Mozilla's code, just not including the FireFox logo, and are calling it different software that is now "Free".


Errrr... Some body needs to get laid... BADLY!
