GNU, as in gnu.org pronounces the G.

Yes, the mascot is a gnu (pronounced like "noo" or "nu", but that's part of
the pun, I suppose.  The name "GNU" is a recursive acronym meaning "GNU's
Not Unix".

Listen to Richard Stallman (the guy that created it):

Nice, not going to listen for the same reason I didn't watch the video, but
I accept evidence/facts, just not "most people think/say."  ;)
