I think there is some confusion about what GNOME is. GNOME creates
a complete Free Desktop solution. The GNOME Project also creates several 
software components in order to get this solution. "Powered by GNOME" 
can also be associated to other Desktop solutions that, though they 
use GNOME components, are not GNOME ( XFCE and Unity for example). 
The fact another projects choose GNOME components for building their
projects is a good thing, even for the GNOME Project, but we want to 
communicate the whole GNOME experience to the users.

As Dave Neary smarly points out, there isn't too much problem with a
sticker "Powered by GNOME" because they are supposed to be suck to a 
laptop, not a GNOME derivative.
