I'd like to try to answer that: * I would say that a GNOME application is one that is in some sense supported by the GNOME (I guess GNU?) organization -- it is probably hosted (i.e., has source code available) on the (a?) gnome site, probably supported by one or more gnome developers, and *possibly* using one or more gnome libraries or other software resources. It does not preclude that: * non-gnome developers also support it * non-gnome websites also make it (as source or binaries or both) available for use by others * it uses, either in addition to, or in some circumstances, non-gnome libraries or software resources * it's use and / or distribution with other distros / desktop environments It may have been, in some sense "started" as a gnome application, but it might just as well have had other roots and been somewhat adopted by gnome (and not precluding other distros / desktops also having adopted it). It is, after all, (I believe, without double checking), under a GPL or similar free and / or open source license.
