I see that the Ubuntu homepage (www.ubuntu.com/) makes no mention of either GNU or Linux.
This seems a very serious omission to me.
I don't find it reassuring that the most popular desktop GNU/Linux doesn't seem to think its an important association to make.
Perhaps a little haranguing is in order?

That is because they can't. It is about licensing. They ship non-free or proprietary software with their distribution, such as Flash which prohibits them from adhering to the 4 freedoms of the GNU philosophy. You can find GNU's own stance on Ubuntu
