Recursive full-forms

In the world of computing, we found a very interesting story about the concept of abbreviations and the full forms. Some of the full forms of the abbreviations used in the computing are recursive! That is, their full form itself contains the short form as the first word of it. Few full forms are not officially distributed but I think they are created. It is very interesting to know these full forms. I am giving top five abbreviations here:

1.   GNU

It is an open source operating system created by Richard Stallman. Most of the open source software has GNU license. Its full form is:

GNU is Not Unix

2.   BING

It is the search engine from Microsoft. Its full form is assumed to be: Bing Is Not Google!

3.   WINE

It is an open source software that is used to execute Windows application programs on Linux system. Its full form is:

Wine Is Not Emulator!

4.   PHP

PHP is a server-side scripting language originally designed for Web development to produce dynamic Web pages. Its first full form was “Personal Home Page” but now it is PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor!

5.   Linux

It is a free and open source operating system. Actually, we know that Linux Torvalds has developed this system so its name in Linux. But someone has interestingly given its full form as Linux Is Not UniX.
