some of these criteria will no doubt require clarification - for instance: "1.10 - Other Information for practical use" if not "software" and "documentation" - software and documentation are already covered in sections 1.8 and 1.9 and the FSF does not consider data (raw information) or art to be "practical"; so it is not at all clear what this criteria covers
i think the template page should have a link to the existing "Free_System_Distribution_Checklist" page[1] which intends to describe in detail what the criteria entails - it currently mentions only a few but that page could be expanded to describe the intention of and guidelines for each criteria on the new checklist the existing "Free_System_Distribution_Checklist" page[1] already makes clear something else that should be revised or at least clarified - namely: the criteria: "1.6 - No software from the List of software that does not respect the FSDG" - to be clear, that list is not a hard blacklist but expects each entry to offer advice on how and if the program can be brought into compliance - many or most of them do, and so many or most of those programs can be included in a FSDG distro if the recommended cleansing steps are taken [1]: https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Free_System_Distribution_Checklist "List of software that does not respect the FSDG"
