    Ages ago someone wrote a bash script that would calculate your “stallman score”, essentially checking the license of every package in your system.

          From absolutely-proprietary:
          “the FSF considers the v7.9x license to be non-free - however, the previous license was apparently non-free also”

          That’s all I know

        It’s called vrms (virtual RMS) and Debian at least packages it.

          It’s called check-dfsg-status since Stallmann stepped down after his controversial statements in Minsky’s Epstein scandal.

          7 out of 705 installed packages are non-free packages on my RPi server.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
