Main requirements for fully free distributions: <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
- \n
- Inclusion of software with approved FSF licenses in the distribution; <\/li>\n
- Prohibition on the delivery of binary firmware and any binary driver components; <\/li>\n
- The rejection of immutable functional components, but the possibility of including non-functional ones, provided there is permission to copy and distribute them for commercial and non-commercial purposes (for example, CC BY-ND maps for a GPL game); <\/li>\n
- The inadmissibility of using trademarks whose terms of use hinder free copying and distribution of the entire distribution or any of its parts; <\/li>\n
- Compliance with the licensing purity of documentation, the inadmissibility of documentation that recommends the installation of proprietary software to solve specific tasks. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
