a commitment to follow the

for Free (削除ここまで) (追記) href="/distros/free-system-distribution-guidelines.html">Free (追記ここまで) System (削除) Distributions</a>. (削除ここまで) (追記) Distribution Guidelines</a>. (追記ここまで) This means (削除) these distros (削除ここまで) (追記) they (追記ここまで) will
include, and propose, exclusively free software. They will reject
nonfree applications, nonfree programming platforms, nonfree drivers,
nonfree firmware (削除) “blobs”, (削除ここまで) (追記) “blobs,” (追記ここまで) nonfree games, and any other
nonfree software, as well as nonfree manuals or documentation.</p>
<p>If one of these distros ever does include or propose anything nonfree,
that must have happened by mistake, and the developers are committed to
removing it. If you find nonfree software or documentation in one of
these distributions, you can
<a href="/help/gnu-bucks.html">report the problem, and earn GNU Bucks</a>,
while we inform the developers so they can fix the problem.</p>
<p>Fixing freedom bugs is an ethical requirement for listing a distro
here; therefore, we list only distros with a development team that has
told us it will remove any nonfree software that might be found in
them. Usually the team consists of volunteers, and they don't make
legally binding commitments to users; but if we find out a distro is
not properly maintained, we will de-list it.</p>
<p>We hope the other existing GNU/Linux distributions will become
entirely free software so that we can list them here. If you wish to
improve the state of free distros, helping to develop an existing free
distro contributes more than starting a new one.</p>

<p>Below (追記ここまで) is a list of small system distributions. These
distributions are meant for devices with limited resources, like a
wireless router for example. A free small system distribution is not
self-hosting, but it must be developable and buildable on top of one of
the free complete systems listed above, perhaps with the aid of free
tools distributed alongside the small system distribution itself.</p>

<p>Do you know about a distribution that you expected to find on our
list, but didn't? First, check our page
about <a href="/distros/common-distros.html">why we don't endorse some
common distributions</a>. That page explains the reasons why several
well-known distributions don't
meet <a href="/distros/free-system-distribution-guidelines.html">our
guidelines</a>. If the distribution isn't listed there either, and
you think it qualifies for a listing under our guidelines, then please
let the distribution's maintainers know about this page and encourage
them to get in touch—we'd like to hear from them.</p>
<p>If you maintain a distribution that follows the <a
href="/distros/free-system-distribution-guidelines.html">Free System
Distribution Guidelines</a> and would like to be listed here, please
write to <a href="mailto:webmasters@gnu.org"><webmasters@gnu.org></a> with
an introduction and a link to the project Web site. When you do,
we'll explain more about our evaluation process to you, and get
started on it quickly. We look forward to hearing from you!</p>
