Linux is not an official GNU project. You can tell because GNU created their own soft fork, Linux-libre, to cut out any blobs or nonfree bits (mostly firmware AIUI). HURD is a GNU project outright. Although, ironically, I'm pretty sure its microkernel nature means it'd be a lot easier to maintain a proprietary driver for HURD than Linux. Life is strange sometimes.
