Cool Gnome

Just wondering what happened to the Rolls Royce Gnome engine and the Nimbus for that matter.
I was visiting a museum a few weeks ago and there was a GE xx (cant remember the number) on display and it looked very similar to a Gnome, did GE build a similar engine under license? If not dose anyone know why it wasn't utilized in civilian applications?
