That way of conceptualizing the situation surprises me.  It doesn't
fit with the events as they happened.

I suggest reading https://gnu.org/gnu/the-gnu-project.html
about how GNU and the FSF came to be.

They are not the same thing.

One pertinent historical point for the C Library Manual is that I am
one of its main authors.  I rewrote most of its text to make it more
readable.  When I came to the abort system call, I added the joke.

I've appointed others to manage work on GNU libc, including this manual,
but I gave specific instructions not to delete this joke.

We can and will consider deleting it, after looking at the remaining
bigger issues.
