Maybe this is an interesting point to know.
Also from a branding point of view.

Is it important (or not) that users know that, this is "GNOME"?
That it is free software?
That it is made by an international collaborative community?
That the community can be contacted?
That feedback and contribution is welcome?
(shall it be even just a typo in a doc, or a love message)

I feel it somehow wrong if a large proportion of users would just
vaguely know they are using "linux".
