That is why large companies don't want you to find where it is. The application of proprietary condoms to GNU licensed body parts would taint them with gpl license.
the g in gobject stands for glib, and the g in glib stands for gtk, and the g in gtk stands for gimp, however the g in gimp stands for gnu, so really the g in glib stands for gnu
So gobject is gnuimptklibobject
I wish we knew some new gnu jokes.
and the g in gnu stands for gnu
So if I'm getting it right, gobject is short for gnugnu(...)gnuimptklibobject.
Following the modern C conventions, the text following the series of (gnu) doesn't matter and you can write anything you want there.

Fun fact: The K in GNU stands for Kernel.
Is it pronounced gnu or jnu?
