In using GdNewHat briefly I saw that the package manager came
preconfigured to use Fedora's repositories. While these were not
enabled by default I wonder how that fits in with the FSDG where "nor
should the distribution refer to third-party repositories that are not
committed to only including free software" and if it's necessary to
even have those repositories present at all?

I also noticed that it seems not all source code is being distributed
(in reviewing the GdNewHat repositories I found 20-some source
packages.) Why isn't all source code available from GdNewHat?
