There is enough info in my last email for FSF, and I am not bureaucratic one to repeat what was written already. > On Sun, 15 Jul 2018 18:01:02 +0200 Jean wrote: > > For any business we > > do, we put timelines and have expectations. > > this is not exactly a business though - FSF is a > charity and the rest here are volunteers - the > FSF has no explicit mandate or obligation to > evaluate distros - it is just one of the many > "campaigns" they try to do for the grander goal > of promoting free software - as i understand it, > most such campaigns rely heavily on volunteers > to make them happen at all Absolutely yes and I understand it. Don't take the definiton of business too narrow. I was using business in right context, and you may check out definitions in dictionary. And I have not referred to business in terms how you described it. But even in those terms, anything that a foundation or charity does is also "business", regardless if it is non-profit. If business is oriented towards tax exempt goals than it is non-profit, but it still remains business. Jean
