A group of people, lead by Richard Stallman, who think that all programs should be given to them for free. They created a license, GPL, that isn't compatible with itself, and insist on calling Linux GNU\Linux. Instead of calling open source programs 'Open Source' they call them 'Free', regardless of weither or not it is free.

The version of GNU which is widely used today called Linux, it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
Linux is the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. It is an essential part of an operating system and can only function as part of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system (GNU/Linux). Linux distributions are actually distributions of GNU/Linux.

Dude 1: "Hey man, I'm running this new OS called Linux, works like a charm!"
Dude 2: "I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux."

Uber-nerd: "What operating system you using?"
Nerd: "Linux, of course."
Uber-nerd: "DON'T CALL IT LINUX, IT'S GNU/LINUX, LINUX IS JUST THE KERNEL THAT USES THE GNU-LICENSED blah blah blah..."
*Nerd punches uber-nerd in face*
Nerd: "Shut up."
Nerd: "Linux, of course."

the state a man is in after a totally messed up role-play session with a woman where he dresses up like a lion and she as a gnu or wildebeest. After their sexual game is taken outside, he loses track of her and finally notices the "wounded" wildebeest "struggling" beneath a tree. He stalks then pounces, gnawing playfully on the neck and back. Then he begins to have sex with the "helpless animal" until he ultimately climaxes and the "gnu" becomes completely motionless. Then he looks up and there- in costume- is his partner, aghast. It is then that he realizes he has just humped an actual wounded wildebeest and the last thing it felt before it died was his own shimmering orgasm. His woman calls him a sick fuck and tells everyone she knows. He is shunned from society, while she- in her wildebeest costume- is treated like the gnu girl in town. She becomes a celebrity and is welcomed everywhere, which really sucks because she is the one who suggested the role-play idea in the first place. But that is the gnu world order.
Jules always asks for three words of English from any dead wildebeest before he has sex with it. He doesn't want any part of the gnu world order.

g-od n-ature yo-u ... a safe, neutral term which can stand in for the name of whatever god you follow. It attempts to remove bias towards one god name or another, and recognizes that any lowercase god YOU trust...PLUS "nature" which is perpetually evolving both THINGS and LIFE... when combined with yo-u defines life itself. A spirit for illusion, nature for reality and yo-u to experience that THIS is what life is all about! GNU!
He is an enlightened gnu-ager, he matured enough to understand and accept that there is no all powerful PERSON pulling the puppet strings...there is just US after billions of years of nature giving US one more try to be better than our parents.
