From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It would also instantly make it impossible to find for everyone who knows it as GIMP, and mean that users of the new version wouldn't see any of the huge amount of existing tutorials for it.
The word only really has two meanings in one country anyway (the US).
There are quite a few pieces of software that have 2 different branding. For instance the windows file searcher agent ransack also goes by "file locator pro" to keep from scaring the corpos.
