It also disables\ + run-time requests for non-Free components, shipped separately or\ + as part of Linux, and documentation pointing to them, so as to\ + avoid (Free-)baiting users into the trap of non-Free Software.\ + http://www.fsfla.org/anuncio/2010-11-Linux-2.6.36-libre-debait\ +\ + Linux-libre started within the gNewSense GNU/Linux distribution.\ + It was later adopted by Jeff Moe, who coined its name, and in 2008\ + it became a project maintained by FSF Latin America.\ +\ + Although the Linux-libre project takes a minimal-changes approach\ + to cleaning up Linux, making no effort to substitute components\ + that need to be removed with functionally equivalent Free ones,\ + we encouraged and support efforts towards doing so.\ +\ + Our mascot is Freedo, a light-blue penguin that has just come out\ + of the the shower. Although we like penguins, GNU is a much greater\ + contribution to the entire system, so its mascot deserves more\ + promotion.
