Date: 2010/11/4<br>Subject: [GNU-linux-libre] debian squeeze kernel freed?<br>To: <a href="mailto:gnu-linux-libre@nongnu.org">gnu-linux-libre@nongnu.org</a><br><br><br>Hi everybody,<br>
<br>
recently I was discussing with the amazing Alexandre Oliva about freedom<br>
in the upcoming Debian Squeeze Linux kernel.<br>
<br>
Here is the conversation:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://identi.ca/conversation/57096294#notice-57961623" target="_blank">http://identi.ca/conversation/57096294#notice-57961623</a><br>
<br>
<br>
Debian people say they moved all nonfree firmware to the non-free<br>
repository but afaik Linux-libre removes more than that.<br>
<br>
Linux-Libre main page says:<br>
"Linux-libre is a project to maintain and publish 100% Free distributions<br>
of Linux, suitable for use in Free System Distributions, removing software<br>
that is included without source code, with obfuscated or obscured source<br>
code, under non-Free Software licenses, that do not permit you to change<br>
the software so that it does what you wish, and that induces or requires<br>
you to install additional pieces of non-Free Software."<br>
<br>
<br>
I wonder if someone at the FSF checked the Squeeze kernel to see if it<br>
satisfies the FSF freedom guidelines.<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
