BSD is Free Software, FSF-certified.
- fsflover 5y agoNot, it's not: https://www.gnu.org/distros/common-distros.html https://www.gnu.org/distros/common-distros.html. FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD all include instructions for obtaining nonfree programs in their ports system. In addition, their kernels include nonfree firmware blobs.
- trasz 5y agoIt is. We are talking about software licenses, not FSF opinion on software distributions.

- handrous 5y agoAh, even after all these years I get tripped up on which terms only apply to viral-license open source.
- trasz 5y agoThere is just one: “GPL”. I’m not aware of any other viral licenses. But I suspect you’ve meant copyleft instead, which is something different from virality - there are plenty of copyleft licenses, eg MPL, which are not viral.
- handrous 5y agoMaybe that's what I was looking for. FFS, way back in the mists of time I'm pretty sure I had a hat that read "COPYLEFT". You'd think I'd be able to get it correct.
