I think GNuntu would still be confused with GNU (the G in GNOME is GNU
anwyay, afterall). While GNOME is a GNU project and factually describing
it as such should be fine, I'd want to include the FSF in anything that
would sound like it was FSF/GNU endorsed. And I think that the FSF would
only endorse it if it were fully free at all levels.
I'm still partial to GNObuntu, but that's probably because I always
pronounce the "G" so there's no negative association. Ubuntu GNOME sounds
fine to me too.
