-In order to qualify for the "GNU Buck" award, someone first submits a 
detailed, actionable report about non-free code in a free distribution to both 
FSF and the maintainer of the distribution. If the maintainer confirms the 
report and removes the non-free part, the person will receive an award and, if 
desired, public recognition.  When that happens, the FSF will also notify other 
free distros, to make sure they can address the issue too.

 The awards follow in the tradition of the checks written by legendary computer 
scientist <a href="http://www-cs-staff.stanford.edu/~uno/";>Donald Knuth</a> to 
anyone who found errors in his seminal textbook "The Art of Computer 
Programming."  To receive a check was such an honor that they were more often 
displayed on office walls than cashed. (Knuth stopped writing actual checks in 
2008 due to check fraud.)
