The Webmaster README is correct:
> Links to free GNU/Linux distributions
> Suggestions for links to GNU/Linux distributions should be handled like this:
> The requestors should be the primary developers of the distro, not
> just users. If they are users, thank them and ask them to contact
> the developers in case they want to be listed.
> Briefly check that the distro is a feasible candidate: they should
> have a clear policy of only including free software, and it should
> be reasonably apparent how to get the sources and what packages are
> included. If these things are not present, talk to the requestor
> about it (politely).
> If there are no glaring problems, ask the requestors to request an
> endorsement from the dedicated mailing list
> <[email protected]>. They should include a description of
> their new distro, a link to their home page, and any other useful
> info. Our ticket should then be resolved.
> FYI: the gnu-linux-libre list will take over from there. In essence,
> they will review it in detail for meeting our criteria, and if all
> seems good, pass it on to the FSF licensing person for final
> approval.
> In any event, webmasters should never simply add new distros that are
> said to be free to our list. FSF licensing and RMS must explicitly
> approve any addition
GNU webmasters have been very helpful in the past on this, and we'd
appreciate the same process being used going forward.
