            Bug ID: 89551
           Summary: GNU is frequently spelled Gnu
           Product: Documentation
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: low
          Priority: P1
         Component: man-pages
          Assignee: documentation_man-pages-ztI5WcYan/vQLgFONoPN62D2FQJk+8+b@public.gmane.org
          Reporter: lorenzo567-1ViLX0X+lBJBDgjK7y7TUQ@public.gmane.org
        Regression: No

The official spelling of GNU is GNU and not Gnu. However, the Linux kernel
documentation (including documentation included with the source code) often has
it spelled Gnu. A good example is the Changes text file in the Documentation
folder of recent source code archives. It has GNU Make spelled Gnu Make, GNU
GCC spelled Gnu GCC, etc. This may be a minhor typo )that occurs many times in
several parts of its documentation), but I think it makes Linux look
improfessional and should be fixed whenever possible.

--- Comment #1 from Roland Kletzing <devzero-S0/GAf8tV78@public.gmane.org> ---
here is a list done via find/grep :

./Documentation/Changes:o  Gnu C                  3.2                     # gcc
--version
./Documentation/Changes:o  Gnu make               3.80                    #
make --version
./Documentation/Changes:You will need Gnu make 3.80 or later to build the
kernel.
./arch/arm/nwfpe/ARM-gcc.h:example, the Gnu C Compiler (`gcc') requires that
64-bit literals be
./drivers/net/ethernet/i825xx/sun3_82586.c: * same Gnu Public License that
covers that work.
./drivers/net/ethernet/i825xx/sun3_82586.h: * same Gnu Public License that
covers that work.
./net/ipx/af_ipx.c: *   All the material in this file is subject to the Gnu
license version 2.
./scripts/ver_linux:'NR==1{print "Gnu C                 ", $1}'
./scripts/ver_linux:      '/GNU Make/{print "Gnu make              ",$NF}'


if you want this fixed, i think the best way to proceed is to send patches to
lkml.

By all means, you might want to try sending patches to get this fixed, but,
please, I would prefer not to clutter the man-pages bugzilla with reports that
aren't even man-pages related.

Thanks,

Michael
