Actually, I don't think GNU has ever pretended to be anything but Unix.
"The GNU Project was launched in 1984 to develop a complete Unix-like operating system..." --www.gnu.org
The 'Not Unix' merely refers to GNU being a Unix implementation that is not owned by AT&T, Novell, SCO or whoever owns the Unix brandname, copyright, or whatever, at a given time. A generic, free version (with, perhaps, some improvements) of a commercial product.
