Indulge me in a little paranoia.

Let's look at Microsoft's motives for choosing .Net? To make the second
most utilized domain name on the Internet more valuable. Know it. Expect
it. If Microsoft becomes popular people like me with names in the .net
TLD will suddenly find ourselves the focus of lawsuits by trademark
holders wishing to claim their .net for their own use. So, either we
need someone to front a .gnu TLD (not a bad idea) or choose an existing
TLD for the project.

Personally "DotGNU" not .GNU, the latter makes hash of some sentence
structures.

The above can be taken as serious or not depending on how you're mixing
your drinks.
