The connection has also been highlighted in GNOME press releases by
including quotations on the quote sheets, such as this one in the 2.0
release:

Free Software Foundation
"GNOME, the GNU graphical desktop, is a Free Software project par
excellence.  It was started in 1997, as part of the GNU Project,
specifically to ensure that free software operating systems (free as in
freedom) would have a free software desktop," said Richard Stallman,
president of the Free Software Foundation.  "At the time, KDE was
unusable in a free system because it depended on a non-free GUI
toolkit.  Thanks to GNOME, this problem is a thing of the past--GNOME is
free, and because of our determination to make a free alternative, today
KDE is also entirely based on free software."
