   In 1985, the FSF started to ship tapes and began to receive
   donations.  The GNU OS (to be known later as HURD) was progressing
   and most and more gaps were filled in its architecture.

The GNU operating system was never known as the Hurd.  The Hurd was a
specific part of the GNU system, much like Emacs, GCC, etc.  The GNU
operating system has always been simply known as GNU.

History revisonism seems to be quite fun, even for articles from 1997.
