i have already offered that analysis as best as i understand it (IIRC on this
same thread) - the FSDG deals only with source code and has "the four freedoms"
as it's policy, and nothing more - anything beyond the four freedoms is
irrelevant or is posted as a warning

so the FSDG is a proper super-set of the FSD criteria ("the four freedoms" plus
more criteria) - therefore, anything which fails an FSD audit is necessarily
unfit for the FSDG; so all of the FSD rejections are relevant to distros

the "List of software that does not respect the Free System Distribution
Guidelines" could list all of those immediately with the suggested liberation
treatment: "none yet known", and ideally go beyond that to suggest acceptable
liberation treatments for each, as they become known

yea, like this one :)

i was only suggestion that as an ideal situation, to describe the intention and
utility of "the list" itself - this work-group is far from doing anything
"ideal" yet
