Note that "everything is GPL licensed" is a different (stricter) requirement to "FSF approves of this operating system". It's going to be almost impossible to come up with an off-the-shelf Linux distribution where every component is GPL-licensed, if only because quite a lot of it will actually be LGPL or MIT. So you probably did not mean literally what you asked. This whole thing is under-specified. If you widened the scope to "GPL and LGPL", this might be possible but you would have to remove a lot of things. > Debian testing is running the linux-libre kernel. Do i have to move to > trisquel ? The question is not answerable until you state exactly what you are trying to achieve. You would have a much easier time if you relaxed your requirements to "only licenses that FSF considers Free Software" (which isn;t the samne as what Debian considers Free Software). That then basically gets you most of Debian and using only Debian "main" is mostly there. After that there will still be a few little things that FSF is more strict on than Debian and there is where you might need to do your own research. That is why I say, if you want a Debian derivative where absolutely everything that FSF considers non-free has been removed then yes I think you're better off starting with Trisquel, as they've done the research and the work. But that's not what you're saying so I;m not sure it;s what you want. Note also that by removing everything that FSF considers non-free you almost certainly decrease the security of your computer, so it's not something to be done lightly.
