 <note tip>A "computer" should be per definition a helping tool, not an energy-consumption with endless scaling. We understand the wording **economic** especially in the direction that we should use all available resources with care, not with having the assumption of the opposite. Aside of this the hardware should be as long persisting as possible and not be exchanged on a near yearly base as new components and complete systems get available promising even more "performance". As with this "performance" also the responsibility to care about the own hardware is forgotten!</note> <note tip>A "computer" should be per definition a helping tool, not an energy-consumption with endless scaling.

 All of those named points are reducing or even worse declining the elemental freedom of the user, to learn, to modify, to share and to use for any purpose without restrictions. **Hyperbola** was and is always about essential freedom and with its goal of **technical emancipation** oriented on lightweight software and design so people can learn and fully control their system by all means. Including software-projects and packages based on them opposing this will never be done, also not just for convinience! All of those named points are reducing or even worse declining the elemental freedom of the user, to learn, to modify, to share and to use for any purpose without restrictions. **Hyperbola** was and is always about essential freedom and with its goal of **technical emancipation** oriented on lightweight software and design so people can learn and fully control their system by all means. Including software-projects and packages based on them opposing this will never be done, also not just for convinience!
  
 +<note important>We do not redefine freedom here throughout our listings. Please accept that we surely give reasoning but to reduce the listings just towards only "freedom-issue" is not working and in fact is pure demagogy. Hyperbola as project has clear reasonings offered and written down here. Asking further why on whatever kind of system package and software is available but on Hyperbola not won't work out. Please therefore read again our notes above and try to understand! If you are not okay with packages missing, please use a different system instead of Hyperbola. You can also grant a helping hand for finding a solution for the issues we have noted in our listings, we won't reject here anything. But just to await from us that we comply to awaitings from the majority is not working out. Everyone is free to have a different opinion, but any opinion is same way only that and nothing more. We have provided clear reasonings and comparisons towards our actions why we have deleted or added which kind of software, using rational facts and not only thoughts or some statement from organizations to comply with. Also to note: Just because a software-project is free and permissive licensed does not make it more acceptable for us. We surely acknowledge the licenses used of projects and nevertheless reject their integration because they restrict users from our perspective.</note>

 +|-
 +! style="background-color:#ffdddd" |<color #b90b0B>rest</color>
 +! Library for accessing RESTful web services
 +! Package is only for implementing further online-services and therefore not inbound with basic ideas Hyperbola wants to adapt and follow. Online-services are developed independent and therefore adapting them will be always at the costs of security for the software and its users.
 +|-
 +! style="background-color:#ffdddd" |<color #b90b0B>libwebp</color>

 +! A purely functional package manager for the GNU system
 +! Package is offering further repositories and therefore external package-management, including also already incompatible marked packages alike dbus, avahi, polkit and others. We do not distribute any further package-manager outside our own as there will be never any kind of control which kind of licensed dependency is loaded and installed.
 +|-
 +! style="background-color:#ffdddd" |<color #b90b0B>subversion</color>
 +! A Modern Concurrent Version Control System
 +! The Apache Foundations does not allow generic to distribute modified versions under the same name ([[https://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/faq/#may-i-distibute-modified-versions-of-apache-software-under-the-original-name|link]]), which makes it problematic to offer rebranded versions for every new release. Therefore all Apache-projects are excluded from Hyperbola.

 +|-
 +! style="background-color:#ffdddd" |<color #b90b0B>dav1d</color>
 +! AV1 cross-platform decoder focused on speed and correctness
 +! The AV1-codec is managed through a consortium, founded by several companies. It is marked as "open-source" and granted usage throughout the companies giving access to their trademarks and patents. But all of this is only on the surface as the grant of being royalty free can never be given and the companies behind can also take away the allowed rights. This is a common misconception of "open-source" and Hyperbola therefore does not include that package.
 +|-
 +! style="background-color:#ffdddd" |<color #b90b0B>aom</color>
 +! Alliance for Open Media video codec
 +! The AV1-codec is managed through a consortium, founded by several companies.

 +! style="background-color:#ffdddd" |<color #b90b0B>rav1e</color>
 +! An AV1 encoder focused on speed and safety
 +! The AV1-codec is managed through a consortium, founded by several companies. It is marked as "open-source" and granted usage throughout the companies giving access to their trademarks and patents. But all of this is only on the surface as the grant of being royalty free can never be given and the companies behind can also take away the allowed rights. This is a common misconception of "open-source" and Hyperbola therefore does not include that package. Besides package is using **Rust**.
 +|-
 +! style="background-color:#ffdddd" |<color #b90b0B>opencv</color>
 +! Computer Vision Library
 +! Package is including in later revisions interface-implementations towards non-free **CUDA** and furthermore support for machine learning. Both are not supported on Hyperbola and therefore this package is marked incompatible!
 +|-
 +! style="background-color:#ffdddd" |<color #b90b0B>opencl</color>
 +! Open Computing Language
 +! Package is in newer revisions implemented with **Rust** and is therefore not offering a free and libre possibility. Marked incompatible for Hyperbola and removed with all other depending packages and projects. 
 +|-
 +! style="background-color:#ffdddd" |<color #b90b0B>gzdoom (and forks)</color>
 +! Advanced Doom source port with OpenGL support

 +! Package is a corporate project imposing goals of free, libre culture and destroying other free software with imperative things (breaks portability, ignores backwards compatibility, and replaces existing services, forcing into adoption)!

 +|-
 +! style="background-color:#ffdddd" |<color #b90b0B>sqlcipher</color>
 +! SQLite extension that provides transparent 256-bit AES encryption of database files
 +! Package is provided free and permissive, but not granting full access to all features and therefore code is only given fully when money is paid. Hyperbola is not offering such packages and deny their further integration.
 +|-
 +! style="background-color:#ffdddd" |<color #b90b0B>libheif</color>
 +! HEIF file format decoder and encoder
 +!

Therefore all Apache-projects are excluded from Hyperbola.
 +|-
 +! style="background-color:#ffdddd" |<color #b90b0B>clamav</color>
 +! Anti-virus toolkit for Unix
 +! Starting with ClamAV 0.105, the Rust toolchain is required to compile ClamAV. So Hyperbola stops providing the package. See our reasoning for exclusion of **Rust** [[https://wiki.hyperbola.info/doku.php?id=en:philosophy:rust_issues|here]].
 +|-
 +! style="background-color:#ffdddd" |<color #b90b0B>nim (nimble)</color>
 +! Imperative, multi-paradigm, compiled programming language
 +! We do not distribute any further package-manager outside our own as there will be never any kind of control which kind of licensed dependency is loaded and installed. Possible non-free dependencies would be then provided direct on the system.
