(personally I think, FreeBSD shouldn't be listed there. If they must
list a BSD system it should be OpenBSD, which has, in contrast to
FreeBSD, an explicit free software agenda).
I don't see FreeBSD as an endorsed free OS. Will you please provide
the link to report that bug?
Possibly they are refering to its kernel which I beleive is free
http://www.fsf.org/working-together/gang/freebsd . Nevertheless, it
shouldn't be endoresed because it promotes non free software.
The naming situation in BSD is not like the situation in GNU/Linux.
"FreeBSD"is the whole system, kernel + userland. The kernel alone is
just called "the FreeBSD kernel". And even if they referred only to the
kernel, as far as I know the situation with non-free blobs in the
FreeBSD kernel is even worse than with the Linux Kernel.
I agree. It should not be mentioned as endorsed. A comment should be
included as with other non-free distros.
