These rules are for GNU/Linux distros in general, they are not specific
to the GNU project, e.g. they are also followed by Trisquel, Parabola and
Hyperbola.

I only use and recommend distros that follow these rules because with
other distros, it is frequent to receive "solutions" by using non-free
software, while the people proposing the "solutions" don't even mention
it is non-free software because they don't care.

Some may say it is censorship, for me it is commitment not to mislead
people.

For wifi, since linux-libre has support for wifi USB dongle using ath9, I
guess it should work fine with Guix SD (but I haven't tried actually).
