-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 the first Brazilian distribution [[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]].+
