+&lt;h2&gt;Explaining Why We Don't Endorse Other Systems&lt;/h2&gt;
+&lt;!--#include virtual="/licenses/fsf-licensing.html" --&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;We're often asked why we don't endorse a particular
+system&mdash;usually a popular GNU/Linux distribution.  The short
+answer to that question is that they don't follow
+the &lt;a href="/distros/free-system-distribution-guidelines.html"&gt;free
+system distribution guidelines&lt;/a&gt;.  But since it isn't always obvious
+how a particular system fails to follow the guidelines, this list
+gives more information about the problems of certain well-known
+nonfree system distros.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;To learn more about the GNU/Linux systems that we do endorse, check
+out our list of &lt;a href="/distros/free-distros.html"&gt;free GNU/Linux
+distributions&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Except where noted, all of the distributions listed on this page
+fail to follow the guidelines in at least two important ways:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;ul&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;They do not have a policy of &lt;em&gt;only&lt;/em&gt; 
including free
+software, and removing nonfree software if it is discovered.  Most of
+them have no clear policy on what software they'll accept or reject at
+all.  The distributions that do have a policy unfortunately aren't
+strict enough, as explained below.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The kernel that they distribute (in most cases, Linux) 
includes
+&ldquo;blobs&rdquo;: pieces of object code distributed without source,
+usually firmware to run some device.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;/ul&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Here is a list of some popular nonfree GNU/Linux distributions in
+alphabetical order, with brief notes about how they fall short.  We do
+not aim for completeness; once we know some reasons we can't endorse a
+certain distro, we do not keep looking for all the reasons.
+&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;A distro may have changed since we last updated information about
+it; if you think one of the problems mentioned here has been
+corrected, please &lt;a href="mailto:address@hidden"&gt;let us know&lt;/a&gt;.
+However, we will study and endorse a distro only if its developers ask
+for our endorsement.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;!-- Please keep this list sorted, first with all the GNU systems 
+     alphabetically, then all the non-GNU systems alphabetically. --&gt;
+
+&lt;h3 id="Arch"&gt;Arch GNU/Linux&lt;/h3&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Arch has the two usual problems: there's no clear policy
+about what software can be included, and nonfree blobs are shipped with
+their kernel, Linux.  Arch also has no policy about not distributing
+nonfree software through their normal channels.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+<span class="inserted"><ins><em>&lt;p&gt;Instead of this nonfree distribution, 
use &lt;a
+href="/distros/free-distros.html#for-pc"&gt;Parabola&lt;/a&gt;, the free distro
+which is made from it.&lt;/p&gt;</em></ins></span>
+
+&lt;h3 id="Canaima"&gt;Canaima&lt;/h3&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Canaima GNU/Linux is a distribution made by Venezuela's government
+to distribute computers with GNU/Linux.  While the overall plan is
+admirable, Canaima is flawed by the inclusion of nonfree software.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Its main menu has an option, &ldquo;Install nonfree
+software&rdquo;, which installs all the nonfree drivers (even the
+ones that are not necessary). The distro also provides blobs for the
+kernel, Linux, and invites installing nonfree applications including
+Flash Player.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;h3 id="CentOS"&gt;CentOS&lt;/h3&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;We're not aware of problems in CentOS aside from the two usual ones:
+there's no clear policy about what software can be included,
+and nonfree blobs are shipped with Linux, the kernel.  Of course, with
+no firm policy in place, there might be other nonfree software
+included that we missed.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;h3 id="Debian"&gt;Debian GNU/Linux&lt;/h3&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Debian's Social Contract states the goal of making Debian entirely
+free software, and Debian conscientiously keeps nonfree software out
+of the official Debian system.  However, Debian also provides a
+repository of nonfree software.  According to the project, this
+software is &ldquo;not part of the Debian system,&rdquo; but the
+repository is hosted on many of the project's main servers, and people
+can readily find these nonfree packages by browsing Debian's
+online package database and its wiki.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;There is also a &ldquo;contrib&rdquo; repository; its packages are
+free, but some of them exist to load separately distributed
+proprietary programs.  This too is not thoroughly separated from the
+main Debian distribution.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Previous releases of Debian included nonfree blobs with Linux, the
+kernel.  With the release of Debian 6.0 (&ldquo;squeeze&rdquo;) in
+February 2011, these blobs have been moved out of the main
+distribution to separate packages in the nonfree repository.  However,
+the problem partly remains: the installer in some cases recommends
+these nonfree firmware files for the peripherals on the machine.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Debian's wiki includes pages about installing nonfree 
firmware.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;!-- https://wiki.debian.org/ATIProprietary --&gt;
+
+<span class="inserted"><ins><em>&lt;p&gt;Instead of this nonfree distribution, 
use one of the free distros
+which are made from it: &lt;a
+href="/distros/free-distros.html#for-pc"&gt;gNewSense&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a
+href="/distros/free-distros.html#for-pc"&gt;PureOS&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</em></ins></span>
+
+&lt;h3 id="Fedora"&gt;Fedora&lt;/h3&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Fedora does have a clear policy about what can be included in the
+distribution, and it seems to be followed carefully.  The policy
+requires that most software and all fonts be available under a free
+license, but makes an exception for certain kinds of nonfree firmware.
+Unfortunately, the decision to allow that firmware in the policy keeps
+Fedora from meeting the free system distribution guidelines.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;h3 id="Gentoo"&gt;Gentoo GNU/Linux&lt;/h3&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Gentoo includes installation recipes for a number of nonfree
+programs in its primary package system.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;h3 id="Mandriva"&gt;Mandriva GNU/Linux&lt;/h3&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Mandriva does have a stated policy about what can be included in the
+main system.  It's based on Fedora's, which means that it also allows
+certain kinds of nonfree firmware to be included.  On top of that, it
+permits software released under the original Artistic License to be
+included, even though that's a nonfree license.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Mandriva also provides nonfree software through dedicated
+repositories.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;h3 id="Mint"&gt;Mint GNU/Linux&lt;/h3&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Mint does not have a policy against including nonfree software, it
+includes nonfree binary blobs in drivers packaged with the kernel, and
+it includes nonfree programs in its repositories.  It even includes
+proprietary codecs.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;h3 id="openSUSE"&gt;openSUSE&lt;/h3&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;openSUSE offers a repository of nonfree software.  This is an
+instance of
+how &lt;a href="/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.html"&gt;
+&ldquo;open&rdquo; is weaker than &ldquo;free&rdquo;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;h3 id="RedHat"&gt;Red Hat GNU/Linux&lt;/h3&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Red Hat's enterprise distribution primarily follows the same
+licensing policies as Fedora, with one exception.  Thus, we don't
+endorse it for &lt;a href="#Fedora"&gt;the same reasons&lt;/a&gt;.  In 
addition to
+those, Red Hat has no policy against making nonfree software available
+for the system through supplementary distribution channels.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;h3 id="Slackware"&gt;Slackware&lt;/h3&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Slackware has the two usual problems: there's no clear policy about
+what software can be included, and nonfree blobs are included in
+Linux, the kernel.  It also ships with the nonfree image-viewing
+program xv.  Of course, with no firm policy against them, more nonfree
+programs could get in at any time.  There is an
+&lt;a href="http://freeslack.net/"&gt;unofficial list&lt;/a&gt; of nonfree 
software
+in Slackware.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;h3 id="SteamOS"&gt;SteamOS&lt;/h3&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;SteamOS, a version of GNU/Linux to be distributed by Valve. It
+contains proprietary software, including the Steam client and
+proprietary drivers. Steam uses &lt;a
+href="https://www.defectivebydesign.org/what_is_drm"&gt;Digital
+Restrictions Management (DRM)&lt;/a&gt; to impose restrictions on the
+software it distributes, as well as on the proprietary software it
+promotes via the Steam store.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;h3 id="SUSE"&gt;SUSE GNU/Linux Enterprise&lt;/h3&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;In addition to the usual two problems, several nonfree software
+programs are available for download from SUSE's official FTP site.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;h3 id="Tails"&gt;Tails&lt;/h3&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Tails uses the vanilla version of Linux, which contains nonfree
+firmware blobs.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;h3 id="Ubuntu"&gt;Ubuntu GNU/Linux&lt;/h3&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Ubuntu provides specific repositories of nonfree software, and
+Canonical expressly promotes and recommends nonfree software under the
+Ubuntu name in some of their distribution channels.  Ubuntu offers the
+option to install only free packages, which means it also offers the
+option to install nonfree packages too.  In addition, the version of
+Linux, the kernel, included in Ubuntu contains firmware blobs.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The &ldquo;Ubuntu Software Center&rdquo; lists proprietary programs
+and free programs jumbled together.  It
+is &lt;a 
href="http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/articles/ubuntu_software_center_proprietary_and_free_software_mixed_confusing_ui"&gt;hard
+to tell which ones are free&lt;/a&gt; since proprietary programs for
+download at no charge are labelled &ldquo;free&rdquo;.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Ubuntu &lt;a 
href="http://www.ubuntu.com/legal/terms-and-policies/intellectual-property-policy#your-use-of-ubuntu"&gt;appears
+to permit commercial redistribution of exact copies with the
+trademarks&lt;/a&gt;; removal of the trademarks is required only for
+modified versions.  That is an acceptable policy for trademarks.  The
+same page, further down, makes a vague and ominous statement about
+&ldquo;Ubuntu patents,&rdquo; without giving enough details to show
+whether that constitutes aggression or not.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;That page spreads confusion by using the misleading
+term &lt;a href="/philosophy/not-ipr.html"&gt;&ldquo;intellectual property
+rights&rdquo;&lt;/a&gt;, which falsely presumes that trademark law and patent 
law
+and several other laws belong in one single conceptual framework.  Use
+of that term is harmful, without exception, so after making a
+reference to someone else's use of the term, we should always reject
+it.  However, that is not a substantive issue about Ubuntu as a
+GNU/Linux distribution.&lt;/p&gt;
+

+&lt;h2&gt;Some Other Distros&lt;/h2&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Here we discuss some well-known or significant non-GNU/Linux system
+distros that do not qualify as free.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;h3 <span class="inserted"><ins><em>id="Android"&gt;Android&lt;/h3&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;a 
href="/philosophy/android-and-users-freedom.html"&gt;Android&lt;/a&gt; as
+released by Google contains many nonfree parts as well as many free
+parts.  Most of the free parts are covered by a pushover license (not
+&lt;a href="/licenses/copyleft.html"&gt;copyleft&lt;/a&gt;), so manufacturers 
that
+distribute Android in a product sometimes make those parts nonfree as
+well.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;h3</em></ins></span> id="BSD"&gt;BSD systems&lt;/h3&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD all include instructions for obtaining
+nonfree programs in their ports system.  In addition, their kernels
+include nonfree firmware blobs.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Nonfree firmware programs used with Linux, the kernel, are called
+&ldquo;blobs&rdquo;, and that's how we use the term.  In BSD parlance,
+the term &ldquo;blob&rdquo; means something else: a nonfree driver.
+OpenBSD and perhaps other BSD distributions (called &ldquo;projects&rdquo; by 
BSD
+developers) have the policy of not including those.  That is the right 
+policy, as regards drivers; but when the developers say these distributions 
+&ldquo;contain no blobs&rdquo;, it causes a misunderstanding.  They are not 
+talking about firmware blobs.&lt;/p&gt;
+
