+
+&lt;h3 id="introduction"&gt;Introduction&lt;/h3&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The purpose of these guidelines is to explain what it means for an
+installable system distribution (such as a &lt;a 
href="/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html"&gt;GNU/Linux&lt;/a&gt; distribution) to
+qualify as &lt;a href="/philosophy/free-sw.html"&gt;free&lt;/a&gt; (libre), and
+help distribution developers make their distributions qualify.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;These guidelines are not complete.  We have mentioned the issues we
+are aware of now, but we're sure there are more.  We will add them
+when we come across them.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;We would like to thank the Fedora Project for their help in focusing
+these policies, and allowing us to use their own distribution license
+guidelines as a basis for this document.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;h3 id="complete-distros"&gt;Complete Distros&lt;/h3&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Our list of distributions is a guide for systems you can install in
+a computer.  Therefore, it only includes distributions that are
+complete in themselves and ready to use.  If a distribution is
+incomplete &mdash; if it requires further development, or presupposes
+installing other software as well &mdash; then it is not listed here,
+even if it is free software.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;An exception to this requirement and to the self-hosting
+requirement above is for &lt;em&gt;small system distributions&lt;/em&gt;, which
+are distros designed for devices with limited resources, like a
+wireless router for example. Free small system distributions do not
+need to be self-hosting or complete, because it is impractical to do
+development on such a system, but it must be developable and buildable
+on top of a free complete system distribution from our list of
+distributions, perhaps with the aid of free tools distributed
+alongside the small system distribution itself.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;h3 id="license-rules"&gt;License Rules&lt;/h3&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;Information for practical use&rdquo;
+includes software, documentation, fonts, and other data that has
+direct functional applications.  It does not include artistic works
+that have an aesthetic (rather than functional) purpose, or statements
+of opinion or judgment.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;All information for practical use in a free distribution must be
+available in source form.  (&ldquo;Source&rdquo; means the form of the
+information that is preferred for making changes to it.)&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The information, and the source, must be provided under an
+appropriate &lt;a href="/philosophy/free-sw.html"&gt;free license&lt;/a&gt;.  
We
+evaluate specific licenses and list our determinations
+in &lt;a class="reference" href="/licenses/license-list.html"&gt;our license
+list&lt;/a&gt;, with separate sections for licenses that are suitable for
+software, documentation, fonts, and other useful works.  If such a
+work is released under a disjunction of licenses, the work is free as
+long as at least one of its licenses is free; the system developers
+should follow the terms of the applicable free license(s) when they
+distribute and/or modify it.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;A free system distribution must not steer users towards obtaining
+any nonfree information for practical use, or encourage them to do so.
+The system should have no repositories for nonfree software and no
+specific recipes for installation of particular nonfree programs. Nor
+should the distribution refer to third-party repositories that are not
+committed to only including free software; even if they only have free
+software today, that may not be true tomorrow.  Programs in the system
+should not suggest installing nonfree plugins, documentation, and so
+on.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;For instance, a free system distribution must not contain browsers
+that implement EME, the browser functionality designed to load DRM
+modules.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;A free system distribution should be self-hosting.  This means that
+you must be able to develop and build the system with tools that the
+system provides you.  As a result, a free system distribution cannot
+include free software that can only be built by using nonfree
+software.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;There's a lot of code in most free system distributions today; the
+amount of effort it would take to audit it all directly is impractical
+for most teams.  In the past, some nonfree code has accidentally been
+included in free system distributions.  We don't de-list distributions
+because of this; instead, we only ask that a distribution's developers
+make a good faith effort to avoid including nonfree software, and
+commit themselves to removing such programs if any are discovered.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Certain kinds of license situations merit special attention for people
+creating or considering free software distributions; those are
+discussed in the sections below.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;h3 id="nonfree-firmware"&gt;Nonfree Firmware&lt;/h3&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Some applications and drivers require firmware to function, and
+sometimes that firmware is distributed only in object code form, under
+a nonfree license.  We call these firmware programs
+&ldquo;blobs.&rdquo; On most GNU/Linux systems, you'll typically find
+these accompanying some drivers in the kernel Linux.  Such firmware
+should be removed from a free system distribution.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Blobs can take many forms.  Sometimes, they will be provided in
+separate files.  Other times, they may be incorporated into the source
+of the driver itself&mdash;for example, it could be encoded as a large
+array of numbers.  But no matter how it's encoded, any nonfree
+firmware needs to be removed from a free system.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;(To be clear, not every array of numbers in a driver is firmware.
+It's important to understand the purpose of the data before deciding
+whether or not it's appropriate for a free system.)&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Brian Brazil, Jeff Moe, and Alexandre Oliva have developed a series
+of &lt;a class="reference"
+href="http://www.fsfla.org/svn/fsfla/software/linux-libre/scripts/"&gt;scripts
+to remove nonfree firmware&lt;/a&gt; from a stock version of the Linux kernel.
+You may find them helpful if you would like to develop your own free
+GNU/Linux distribution&mdash;although we recommend joining development
+of an existing free distro rather than fragmenting effort by starting a
+new one.  The complete source for a blob-free version of the Linux
+kernel is also available; you can learn more about this project from the
+&lt;a class="reference" href="http://directory.fsf.org/project/linux/"&gt;Free
+Software Directory&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;h3 id="non-functional-data"&gt;Non-functional Data&lt;/h3&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Data that isn't functional, that doesn't do a practical job, is
+more of an adornment to the system's software than a part of it.
+Thus, we don't insist on the free license criteria for non-functional
+data.  It can be included in a free system distribution as long as its
+license gives you permission to copy and redistribute, both for
+commercial and non-commercial purposes.  For example, some game
+engines released under the GNU GPL have accompanying game
+information&mdash;a fictional world map, game graphics, and so
+on&mdash;released under such a verbatim-distribution license.  This
+kind of data can be part of a free system distribution, even though
+its license does not qualify as free, because it is non-functional.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;h3 id="trademarks"&gt;Trademarks&lt;/h3&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Trademarks are associated with some software.  For example, the
+name of a program may be trademarked, or its interface may display a
+trademarked logo.  Often, the use of these marks will be controlled
+in some way; in particular, developers are commonly asked to remove
+references to the trademark from the software when they modify
+it.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;In extreme cases, these restrictions may effectively render the
+program nonfree.  It is unfair for someone to ask you to remove a
+trademark from modified code if that trademark is scattered all
+throughout the original source.  As long as the practical
+requirements are reasonable, however, free system distributions may
+include these programs, either with or without the trademarks.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Similarly, the distribution itself may hold particular trademarks.
+It is not a problem if modification requires removal of these
+trademarks, as long as they can readily be removed without losing
+functionality.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;However, it is unacceptable to use trademarks to restrict verbatim
+copying and redistribution of the whole distribution, or any part.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;h3 id="documentation"&gt;Documentation&lt;/h3&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;All the documentation in a free system distribution must be released
+under an appropriate free license.  Additionally, it must take care
+not to recommend nonfree software.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;In general, something that helps people who already use nonfree
+software to use the free software better with it is acceptable, but
+something that encourages users of the free software to install
+nonfree software is not.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;For example, a free system distribution may have documentation for
+users setting up dual boot systems.  It could explain how to access
+filesystems of the proprietary operating system, import settings
+from it, and so on.  That would be helping people install a free
+system distribution on a machine which already has proprietary
+software, which is good.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;What would be unacceptable is for the documentation to give people
+instructions for installing a nonfree program on the system, or
+mention conveniences they might gain by doing so.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;For a borderline case, a clear and serious exhortation not to use the
+nonfree program would move it to the acceptable side of the line.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;h3 id="patents"&gt;Patents&lt;/h3&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;It is effectively impossible for free software developers and
+distributors to know whether or not a given piece of software
+infringes any patents: there are too many of them, they vary from
+country to country, they're often worded so as to make it hard to tell
+what they do or don't cover, and it isn't easy to tell which ones are
+valid.  Therefore, we don't generally ask free system distributions to
+exclude software because of possible threats from patents.  On the
+other hand, we also don't object if a distributor chooses to omit some
+software in order to avoid patent risk.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;h3 id="no-malware"&gt;No Malware&lt;/h3&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The distro must contain no DRM, no back doors, and no 
spyware.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;h3 id="mistakes"&gt;Commitment to Correct Mistakes&lt;/h3&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Most distribution development teams don't have the resources to
+exhaustively check that their distribution meet all these criteria.
+Neither do we.  So we expect distros to occasionally contain mistakes:
+nonfree software that slipped through, etc.  We don't reject a
+distribution over mistakes.  Our requirement is for the distribution
+developers to have a firm commitment to promptly correct any mistakes
+that are reported to them.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;h3 id="maintenance"&gt;Maintenance&lt;/h3&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;To be listed, a distribution should be actively maintained,
+and should give the GNU Project a clear and specific way to report problems
+of nonfree software that we find out about.  It should also
+inform us when the problems we have reported are fixed.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;h3 id="name-confusion"&gt;Name Confusion&lt;/h3&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;We will not list a distribution whose name makes confusion with
+nonfree distributions likely.  For example, if Foobar Light is a free
+distribution and Foobar is a nonfree distribution, we will not list
+Foobar Light.  This is because we expect that the distinction between
+the two would be lost in the process of communicating the message.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;In particular, the principal name of the free distribution
+(&ldquo;Foobar&rdquo;, in this example) should not be part of the name
+of any nonfree distribution.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Some people have thought of adding the name &ldquo;GNU&rdquo; to a
+free distro name to distinguish it from a nonfree one.  This has two
+problems.  First, the two names would not be sufficiently different,
+since the principal word in both names would be the same.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Second, this would promote a misunderstanding of what
+&ldquo;GNU&rdquo; means.  &lt;a href="/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html"&gt;GNU is an
+operating system&lt;/a&gt;, typically used with Linux as the kernel, and
+essentially all so-called &ldquo;Linux&rdquo; distributions are really
+GNU/Linux distributions.  In this scenario,
+&lt;em&gt;both&lt;/em&gt; versions are GNU/Linux, and it would be misleading to
+omit &ldquo;GNU&rdquo; from the name of one of them.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;h3 id="upstream"&gt;Contacting Upstream If You're Downstream&lt;/h3&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;For distro developers (or anyone else) who have sent an important bug
+report for a GNU package: if it has gone unheeded by the package
+maintainer after a reasonable time (please allow at least two weeks),
+you can escalate the bug by writing to &lt;address@hidden&gt;.
+This is especially warranted if you can't find evidence of recent
+activity by the package maintainer.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;h3 id="teaching"&gt;Please Teach Users about Free Software&lt;/h3&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;To establish lasting freedom, just giving users freedom isn't
+sufficient.  It is necessary also to teach them to understand what it
+means and to demand it.  Thus, we suggest and urge that free distros
+announce prominently on the screen, before login and on the default
+desktop after login, a prominent statement about freedom, such as

href="/distros/free-distros.html"&gt;free
+GNU system distributions&lt;/a&gt; we know about.  If you know about a free
+distribution that isn't listed there, please ask its developers write

+<span 
class="removed"><del><strong>href="mailto:address@hidden"&gt;address@hidden&lt;/a&gt;&gt;</strong></del></span>
+<span 
class="inserted"><ins><em>href="mailto:address@hidden"&gt;address@hidden&lt;/a&gt;&gt;</em></ins></span>
 with a description of
+their system and a link to their web page.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;We also list &lt;a href="/distros/free-non-gnu-distros.html"&gt;free
+non-GNU system distributions&lt;/a&gt; on the same ethical 
conditions.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;If you have questions or comments about these guidelines
+themselves, feel free to send those to &lt;&lt;a class="reference"
+href="mailto:address@hidden"&gt;address@hidden&lt;/a&gt;&gt;.  We hope
+that they help everyone better understand the issues that are important
+for free system distributions, and we look forward to promoting more
+of them in the future.&lt;/p&gt;
