Guix is *not* a distribution of GNU; rather, it's the package manager
of GNU.  There is, however, a GNU project's distribution of the GNU
system which the Guix team is working on.  The Guix team folks are the
first ones to work on such distribution because packaging and
distributing are normally intrinsically related tasks.

GNU running on top of GNU Linux-libre is technically GNU, if that is a
GNU project's distribution.  That's our view.
