[GNU-linux-libre] Relationships with other distros and other things

[Adonay Felipe Nogueira]

Hi there,


I was talking to some friends and was made aware of some possible issue for 
many of the free/libre distros, which I'll try to outline in the paragraphs 
bellow.

1. Is there any work being done with distros that don't meet the FSDG but are 
still the base for those who do, in the sense that someday both projects can be 
merged into the older one and from that point on have the same resources 
(technology, structure, people, documentation, available people's time, 
willingness, oportunity and skill to help) ?

2. Judging from the fact that there are many projects that have a goal to 
release a given distro but which define freedoms in different terms, should 
distros (or their projects) that don't meet the FSDG be called “non-free” 
across the documentation of GNU.org, FSF.org and LibrePlanet? And if so, why?

3. Is there any work being made to change the current FSDG so as to also demand 
free/libre culture works? How/where can we contribute or start that?

4. For the common distros found to be non-compliant with FSDG, are there 
registries of issues opened in their trackers regarding the findings made?
