Yes, but you are also mixing together projects written by the GNU developers, with software which is simply GPL licensed. For example, GNU shouldn't be given credit for things like KDE and open office, simply because they choose a license published by the FSF/GNU folks. Quite frankly, most of the software that I interact with on a day to day basis on my linux system is not GNU software. Put me down as against the name change. But I really don't care very much one way or another.
