A similar and arguably even less fair situation arises with some
distributions, to the point that some people come to associate the whole
system with the name of the distribution.
In the case of GNU, as I read it from the GNU website[^1], the concern
seems to be less for the appreciation or accolades of receiving credit,
and more for keeping alive the underpinning Free Software philosophy.
