I think Diego means there's no source history nor hacker community but a subset
of it's product; the same critique that was done when the directory of free OOo
extensions was made, or the end impression people has when we do this. Doesn't
freedom count as added value?

Either way, lxoliva was working on importing development history of linux-libre
from linux's git tree, and there was a discussion here on how to implement it.
