Because GNU is associated with Richard Stallman and his unnatural views (believes pedophilia and necrophilia should be legal among other htings).
Also, the name "GIMP" is not very professional as it's associated with the slang use of the word. It's along the same lines as "GIT," named that way on purpose by Linus. We just need to break away from GNU and create works which make a clean break from Stallman and those in the GNU camp, and proceed forward in a more positive way. Best regards, Rick C.
