https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#FLOSS Quote: The term “FLOSS,” meaning “Free/Libre and Open Source Software,” was coined as a way to be neutral between free software and open source. If neutrality is your goal, “FLOSS” is the best way to be neutral. But if you want to show you stand for freedom, don't use a neutral term. --- It is not a question if Firefox is "entirely FLOSS", it is a question if it is free software or not, which has different definition. Free System Distribution Guideliness are guideliness not only for software, rather for developers, for the group of people promoting free software. So, if you wish to comply to get endorsed, you need to make a checklist on what to do in accordance with the guidelines: https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-system-distribution-guidelines.html And all I see is your ignorance, and rejection of the arguments. You asked for comments, which comment did you accept with willingness to improve? I am not FSF representative. Jean Louis
