I doubt there was anything intentional about it. There's a very large proprietary software industry out there in which most people haven't ever heard of GNU or the GPL, believe it or not. In fact, I have a "GNU" baseball cap and an "EFF" baseball cap that I used to wear around Stanford's computer science building, and even here I would get an occasional question about what they meant. > * The Tables reference guide.

I don't think we're ready for anything like that yet, but we're getting closer.
