Dear Mageia folks,

I believe getting FSF support for Mageia would be a huge boost for our
distro. Also there is no major distro in the list of FSF approved
distributions, yet. We could be the first major/established distro
(well we have the legacy from Mandrake days) there. We are very close
already, I believe we have to let go of only non-free firmware from
the kernel.

Here is the FSF guidelines
http://www.gnu.org/distros/free-system-distribution-guidelines.html

Can we commit to these guidelines?

Thanks
Praveen

You have to keep reminding your government that you don't get your
rights from them; you give them permission to rule, only so long as
they follow the rules: laws and constitution.
