Revision as of 17:40, 22 March 2018

This is the standard FSDG-compliance checklist template for Software Distributions (distros) seeking FSF endorsement. It should instantiated at the beginning of the community evaluation phase for each prospective distro by the community-appointed review manager for that distro.

To use this template:

  • Create a new page with the name of the candidate distro.
  • Add the framed text below as the body of the new page.
  • Each line beginning with a pipe '|' symbol corresponds to one of the checklist criteria.
  • The 'TODO' place-holder following the equals symbol '=' on each such line may be replaced with arbitrary notes.
  • There must be some text following the equals symbol '=' on each such line until that criteria passes.
  • Any text following an equals symbol '=' on any such line indicates a pending state for that criteria (☐ will be shown).
  • As each criteria passes review, delete the entire corresponding line (☑ will be shown).
  • The text of each criteria in the rendered checklist table will be a hyper-link to the relevant section of the FSDG.
  • The 'TODO' place-holder or the replacement notes will be shown beneath each criteria in the rendered checklist table.
{{FSDG_Checklist
|complete-distros=TODO
|no-name-confusion=TODO
|no-trademark-issues=TODO
|actively-maintained=TODO
|fixes-mistakes=TODO
|avoids-propaganda=TODO
|non-dsfg-software-cleansed=TODO
|no-nonfree-firmware=TODO

|no-nonfree-documentation=TODO
|no-nonfree-practical=TODO
|no-nonfree-nonfunctional=TODO
|no-encourage-nonfree=TODO
|no-malware=TODO
}}

The rendered distro checklist page will resemble the table below with boxes beside each pending criteria and check-marks beside each passing criteria.

Sample Checklist:

This is the FSDG-compliance checklist for <DISTRO_NAME> as compiled by the Community Workgroup for fully free GNU/Linux distributions. The text of each criteria in the checklist table is a hyper-link to the relevant section of the FSDG. Additional tips for reviewers may be found in the FSDG Review Guide. Please send any questions or comments to the gnu-linux-libre mailing list.
