Max may have been quick to type in answering the other questions and this was 
a simple typo.  The "Gnome" LiveCD is not named as "Gnome" for the same 
reason that the Fedora spin is not named anything other than Fedora.  It is 
the default and most suggested of the Live CDs and thus simply called the 
Fedora Live CD.  The Fedora KDE Live CD is specifically crafted to showcase 
KDE, whilst the Fedora Live CD is specifically crafted to put Fedora's best 
foot forward in a reasonable usable desktop that will fit on a CD.  Again, it 
is not a "GNOME" LiveCD by any means.  Many parts of it are not gnome, 
especially areas like the browser.  A Fedora GNOME LiveCD could be crafted 
that showcases a pure GNOME desktop, like the KDE LiveCD.
