GNOME (which originally stood for "GNU Network Object Model Environment" - but
this acronym is no longer used, so consideration is being given to changing the project's
name to "Gnome"), is a GUI desktop environment
used on Linux
and Solaris. GNOME is
free and open source software
distributed under
the GPL
and
LGPL.
The LGPL
is used for GNOME's libraries, allowing applications under a variety of
software licenses to be used
with GNOME, whereas the
GPL is
used for the standard GNOME applications.
Here are some books about GNOME:
