It was renamed because UTC has nothing to do with Greenwich. For
historical reasons, the time at Greenwich is the same as UTC.
They are not perfectly identical. The difference is however less then
one second;
GMT is mean solar time.
UTC is TAI (atomic time) + leap seconds.

Whilst this may be true, in practice people use GMT when they mean UTC.
BTW: GMT is mean solar time /at Greenwich/.
What annoys me is when Raspberry Shake and others refer to "UTC time"!
