If you look at the above link, you can see some Totally Free(R)(TM)
distros.
I wanted to ping the list to see if there's substantial support behind
meeting their criteria.
We'd need to do four things:
Change the social contract to eliminate the "we support non-free
software" section.
Eliminate the z-rejected grimoire to be hosted/maintained by a separate
system (no SCM or website mingling, grimoire url to be explicitly added).
Scan the grimoire for stuff that needs moved to the z-rejected section
and do that. (The FSF keeps a list of GPL-compatible and
non-GPL-compatible-but-free licenses.)
Switch our SCM to something(s) other than perforce for everything.
Who thinks this is worth it? Who thinks it's not worth it?
Seth
P.S. I favor becoming as Free(R)(TM) as possible. I will do what the
group desires, but I think it's something we should consider, at least.
