Re: [Trisquel-users] Free software?

[sirgrant]

Yes, the packages from the "Add/Remove Applications" section do come from the  
repositories.  Any packages that are available either in the base install or  
via the Trisquel repositories must follow the  
[https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-system-distribution-guidelines.html  
Guidelines for Free System Distributions].  So yes anything you install via  
the add/remove applications will be free software.

Two small notes though.  Trisquel is developed by humans and thus not  
perfect.  Occasionally a non-free program or file may slip into the distro.   
If you ever find one please report the issue and it will be corrected.  Also  
if you do add on a third-party repository we can not obviously vouch for the  
content of that repository and claim that all software coming from it is  
free.  You do so at your own risk.
