   the graphics app with the inappropriate name just had its 3.0 release and didn't use that as an opportunity to change its name

   disappointing

     @glyph @onelson @chrisjrn @Br3nda I don’t really see the benefit to associating yourself so closely with a parent project like that for desktop applications, especially ones that are largely cross platform and probably more widely used on proprietary platforms.

     It seems the few people in charge of the editor are not interested in changing the name, so the community should. If even just Ubuntu and Fedora packaging teams renamed it that would be huge.

     @chrisjrn and it's such an easy fix. Just omit the Gnu.
