This morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas; how it got into them, I'll never know...

If there is a standard library for GNU Make, one would expect it to be part of the GNU project.

That the GNU project enforces a certain naming convention on projects doesn't oblige you in any way to avoid that naming convention, but adopting that convention when you are not part of the GNU project creates confusion.

You might diffuse/disclaim the confusion up front. I notice your github repo has three archive files, no license, and no readme.

It does, because the FSF owns the trademark GNU.
