What is the relationship between this and GNOME? I see two problems in the kickstarter page. The smaller, superficial problem is that it says "Linux" and means GNU. If they would like our support, we should insist they change that. The substantive problem is that kickstarter requires running nonfree software to donate. Since we should not ask people to run a nonfree program, we should not ask people to donate to a project on kickstarter. There is a crowdfunding site, crowdsupply.com, which permits donation without running nonfree software -- and they are willing to host a project when the FSF asks. So this problem has a solution which is not very difficult. I asked someone to check the distro's own web site. He reported that it isn't clear whether the distro will be free or not. Which means it probably won't be free. Is there anything we should do with it? -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation (gnu.org, fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (internethalloffame.org) Skype: No way!
