Revision as of 14:56, 4 July 2012
These packages all present some kind of issue for distributions that are trying to follow the Free System Distribution Guidelines. Developers working on these distributions should take special care to make sure that these issues are addressed in one way or another. The list below includes package names, details about the problem and citations, and recommended strategies for addressing the issue as appropriate. The initial list comes from Trisquel, and should also match gNewSense filters, so it contains both Ubuntu specific packages and common ones too.
Please do not add a package to this list until it's been discussed on the gnu-linux-libre mailing list and/or with RMS. Some corner cases can be tricky to decide, and it's good to take time and make sure we have the right decision before listing something. Thanks for your help with this.
Checking for packages that don't follow the guidelines is an important part of checking the distribution, but not the only one. The Free System Distribution Checklist offers concrete ways to check a distribution's compliance with the other guidelines. It's a newer resource, so please consider contributing there if you can.

Nouveau
Description: Source code for the Nouveau kernel module |
Homepage: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nouveau-kernel-source/ |
Problem: Different versions of the Nouveau kernel module have included nonfree blob(s). The project is working on eliminating this dependency, and some specific versions of Linux don't include this blob, but they're apparently not all the way there yet. If your distribution ships the Nouveau module separately from Linux, it definitely contains a blob that must be removed. If Nouveau is included with Linux in your distribution, and you're not using linux-libre, you'll need to check for a blob and remove it if it's there. |
Recommended Fix: Use a version of linux-libre that includes Nouveau. |
