Introduction

This page can track some differences between FSDG compliant distributions.

This could help see if FSDG distributions can collaborate more on some topics.

Policies

While FSDG compliant distributions need to follow the Free System Distribution Guidelines, they can also have additional policies that are more strict on other aspects.

Knowing that not only enables to choose the most adapted FSDG distribution to one's needs, but it is also important to keep in mind when trying to build cross-distribution collaboration.

For instance non-functional data licensed under the CC-BY-ND licenses is not allowed in Parabola but it might be allowed in other FSDG compliant distributions, so what might be a bug in Parabola is not necessarily a bug in other distributions.
