    Wait why didn’t they keep unpacking the recursive acronym further? GNU’s Not Unix’s Not Unix’s Not Unix’s Not Unix I’d say that’s a pretty good amount although if there’s a mathematical way of formulating the unpacking of acronyms in a text I’d like to see the that repeated until infinity.

      Just put it in a formal grammar:

      GNU -> GNU's Not Unix's
GNU -> gnu
GIMP -> GNU image manipulation program
