One thing doesn't exclude the other. They have recognition in many
places, but pretending that GNU doesn't exist by calling the whole for
the name of a tiny fraction is definitly not fair.

Anyways, the GNU projects wants recognition as a means to alert people
for freedom, for their rights, not as a vanity contest.
