 \chapter{What Is Software Freedom?}
 Study of the GNU General Public License (herein, abbreviated as \defn{GNU
   GPL} or just \defn{GPL}) must begin by first considering the broader world
 of software freedom. The GPL was not created in a vacuum. Rather, it was
 created to embody and defend a set of principles that were set forth at the
-founding of the GNU project and the Free Software Foundation (FSF) -- the
+founding of the GNU Project and the Free Software Foundation (FSF) -- the
 preeminent organization that upholds, defends and promotes the philosophy of software
 freedom. A prerequisite for understanding both of the popular versions
 of the GPL
 (GPLv2 and GPLv3) and their terms and conditions is a basic understanding of
 the principles behind them.  The GPL family of licenses are unlike nearly all
 other software licenses in that they are designed to defend and uphold these
 principles.

 Software Distribution (``BSD'') license.  This license is typical of what are
 often called lax, highly permissive licenses.  Not unlike software in the
 public domain, these non-copyleft licenses (usually) grant software freedom
 to users, but they do not go to any effort to uphold that software freedom
 for users.  The so-called ``downstream'' (those who receive the software and
 then build new things based on that software) can restrict the software and
 distribute further.
 The GNU's Not Unix (``GNU'') project, which Richard M.~Stallman (``RMS'')
 founded in 1984 to make a complete Unix-compatible operating system
 implementation that assured software freedom for all.  However, RMS saw that
 using a license that gave but did not assure software freedom would be
-counter to the goals of the GNU project.  RMS invented ``copyleft'' as an
+counter to the goals of the GNU Project.  RMS invented ``copyleft'' as an
 answer to that problem, and began using various copyleft licenses for the
-early GNU project programs.\footnote{RMS writes more fully about this topic in
+early GNU Project programs.\footnote{RMS writes more fully about this topic in
   his essay entitled simply
   \href{http://www.gnu.org/gnu/thegnuproject.html}{\textit{The GNU Project}}.
     For those who want to hear the story in his own voice,

     are also widely available}
