I think that in situations such as with Uruk and with RLSD, if just one criteria remains which is not being met, but it is still a 100% free distro (or a derivative of a 100% free distro), then this list should email [email protected] explaining the situation and the FSF and RMS should check to see if the criteria should perhaps be adjusted to make room for another useful free distro. This is how we went about adding the small distros section to the list.
