 GNU - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stallman wanted computer users to be free, as most were in the 1960s and 1970s; free to study the source code of the software they use, free to modify the behaviour of the software, and free to publish their modified versions of the software.
This license is now used by most GNU programs, as well as a large number of free software programs that are not part of the GNU project; it is the most commonly used free software license in the world.
The project to develop GNU is known as the GNU Project, and programs released under the auspices of the GNU Project are called GNU packages or GNU programs.

 The GNU Project - Free Software Foundation (FSF)
The GNU system includes programs that are not GNU software, programs that were developed by other people and projects for their own purposes, but which we can use because they are free software.
UNIX was (and is) proprietary software, and the GNU project's philosophy said that we should not use proprietary software.
GNU manuals are copylefted also, but use a much simpler kind of copyleft, because the complexity of the GNU GPL is not necessary for manuals.

 Welcome to the Athena GNU Locker
The GNU locker is intended only for software from the GNU project of the Free Software Foundation.

Also, "finger" is excluded since the GNU version does not have the same functionality as most vendor OSs' versions.
