 +**Hyperbola is explicit not following and decline this definition** as we want a full free and libre available system. So in our definition all software and included data has to be free, libre and permissive licensed. The problem with the definition of the FSF: It leaves room for interpretation and only focus on vague terminology. Games need further data, like images and sounds. Without them any kind of game is not able to be really usable. Furthermore the definition leaves also room for per definition free and libre oriented systems including non-free licensed data-packages.

 +Within Hyperbola as system all data has to be free and libre licensed, without any exclusion. Free and libre licensed reimplementations or interpreters needing nevertheless non-free data are also not allowed for inclusion in the repositories of Hyperbola at any time. The individual decision of users is untouched and without question.
