unix gnu

It's a recursive acronym; just like PHP stands for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, or, my favourite, GNU HURD, which stands for HIRD of Unix-Replacing Daemons, where HIRD stands for HURD of Interfaces Reflecting Depth.

unix gnu

Recently I was at the lecture of Richard Stallman. He said that GNU is a recursive definition of GNU - Gnu is Not Unix.
