Actually, when referring to it I drop the backgammon altogether and
refer to it simply as GNU. Most do since when discussion comes to its
features or analysis, no one is likely to think the institution is what
is being referred to. In any case it is how I referred to it in the
tutorial, and how I see it referred to in the GoL forum as well as the
RGB newsgroup.
