GCC is an acronym for GNU Compiler Collection; that states what it does. GNU is an acronym for GNU's Not Unix. By the convention for recursive acronyms, that implies something similar to Unix; in other words, a Unix-like operating system. Emacs is short for Editing Macros, which says it is an editor. That is not to say that none of those could possibly be improved upon. Company, by contrast, is one of the unclear names I think we should change for clarity. As for Linux, that name is not ours, so the blame or the praise is not for us. -- Dr Richard Stallman (https://stallman.org) Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
