-==== Is Hyperbola based on other distributions? ==== 
- 
-No, Hyperbola is a fully free long-term support distribution based on Arch snapshots and Debian development, with special emphasis on stability, privacy, security and init freedom. 
- 
-We support the [[https://www.devuan.org/os/init-freedom/|Init Freedom Campaign]] made by Devuan and forked some Parabola projects such as the [[https://git.hyperbola.info:50100/software/blacklist.git|blacklist]], [[https://www.hyperbola.info/packages/extra/any/libretools/|libretools]] and [[https://www.hyperbola.info/packages/core/any/your-freedom/|your-freedom]], however Hyperbola is not a distribution based on Devuan, Parabola, etc. 
  
 ==== If Hyperbola is a fully free distribution, is it following the GNU Free System Distribution Guidelines (GNU FSDG)? ==== ==== If Hyperbola is a fully free distribution, is it following the GNU Free System Distribution Guidelines (GNU FSDG)? ====
  
-Yes, it is our main goal. Hyperbola contains its own [[en:main:social_contract|social contract]] and [[en:main:packaging_guidelines|packaging guidelines]] which are the commitment that we make to follow the philosophy of the [[https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-software-intro.html|Free Software Movement]]. +Yes, it is our main goal. Hyperbola is [[https://www.fsf.org/news/fsf-adds-hyperbola-gnu-linux-libre-to-list-of-endorsed-gnu-linux-distributions|listed by the Free Software Foundation]] as a Free System Distribution, true to the [[https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-system-distribution-guidelines.html|GNU Free System Distribution Guidelines]]. Hyperbola contains its own [[en:main:social_contract|social contract]] and [[en:main:packaging_guidelines|packaging guidelines]] which are the commitment that we make to follow the philosophy of the [[https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-software-intro.html|Free Software Movement]].

-==== Why is Hyperbola not a FSF-endorsed distribution then? ==== +
- +
-We sent a FSF endorsement request to the [[https://lists.hyperbola.info/pipermail/dev/2017-September/000035.html|FSF webmasters]] for an initial review and then to the  [[https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/gnu-linux-libre/2017-09/msg00016.html|Workgroup for fully free GNU/Linux distributions mailing list]] for a full review. +
- +
-However, Donald Robertson ([[https://www.fsf.org/about/staff-and-board|FSF licensing and compliance manager]]) considered that Hyperbola had a fairly [[https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/gnu-linux-libre/2018-03/msg00019.html|limited thread on gnu-linux-libre mailing lists]], waiting for us if we are still interested for the FSF endorsement, therefore Hyperbola was moved to "[[https://libreplanet.org/wiki?title=Incoming_distros&oldid=48536#Distros_that_have_requested_consideration|Distros that have requested consideration]]" section in Incoming distros page. +
- +
-[[https://www.hyperbola.info/members/founders/#Emulatorman|Emulatorman]] has responded him for [[https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/gnu-linux-libre/2018-03/msg00025.html|our interest]] to begin start at the beginning [[http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/gnu-linux-libre/2018-04/msg00021.html|the new endorsement process protocol]] opening a [[http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/gnu-linux-libre/2018-04/msg00026.html|new request]]. +
- +
-Currently, Hyperbola has been [[http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/gnu-linux-libre/2018-04/msg00036.html|accepted by the GNU webmasters]] as candidate for community evaluation on the mailing list, therefore Hyperbola was moved to "[[https://libreplanet.org/wiki?title=Incoming_distros&oldid=48712#Distros_currently_being_evaluated_by_the_community|Distros currently being evaluated by the community]]" section with a template about its [[https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Hyperbola|current status]].+

 The [[https://www.devuan.org/os/init-freedom/|Init Freedom Campaign]] is about restoring a sane approach to PID1, one that respects diversity and freedom of choice. We refuse init systems that breaks portability, ignores backwards compatibility, and replaces existing services, forcing into adoption (eg. systemd). The [[https://www.devuan.org/os/init-freedom/|Init Freedom Campaign]] is about restoring a sane approach to PID1, one that respects diversity and freedom of choice.
