full form gnu

[anon10409]

Dear Sir,
I did search for the full form of GNU and the only answer that I got is "GNU's not unix",but still the question remains the same what's the full form of GNU here.

Anon10409,

That is a good question, however, there is no straight answer. The expansion GNUs is not UNIX is most commonly accepted. I am not sure if this is the term which was in Richard Stallman's mind when he first coined this acronym. BTW, Wikipedia expands GNU as above.

Thanks,

Anup
