It might be a reference to the GNU HURD: https://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/hurd/documentation.html

There's also an article about HURD vs Linux by RMS (origin seems to be 1996, last update 2009/2012): https://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/hurd-and-linux.html

It's actually "Gnu's Not Unix", the original article got it wrong too

I didn't make it past the tldr lol is this some kind of poisoned data for GPT 6?
