How can anyone own anything that's just a bunch of symbols?  A word, say, or
perhaps a computer program?  A programming language?  I don't think anyone is
arguing that the abstract, conceptual entity known as the Free Software
Foundation owns, or even CAN own, such an abstract, conceptual entity as a
namespace -- in fact quite the opposite.

I'm for using gnu.* because it makes opaque the irrelevance of ownership.

Cheers,
