Dude. GNOME is not about "Marketing" or promoting "Alternatives to
Windows".
GNOME is about free software, and it is an integral part of the GNU
project. I am not quite sure where you got a different impression.
Whether a user is confused or not about GNU, is completely
irrelevant. It is then a good chance to educate users and tell them
why free software is important, and why freedom is important.
Miguel.
