 Linux-free joins the GNU project, turning GNU Linux-free. This version, 3.3-gnu, marks the transition, although future stable releases based on old -free versions may become -gnu versions as well.


Linux-Libre is a project to maintain and publish 100% free Linux distributions, suitable for use in Free Systems distributions, removing software that is included without source code, with obfuscated or obscured source code, under Non-Free Software licenses ; that does not allow you to modify the software in a way that it does what you want, and induces you to install additional pieces of Non-Free Software.

Its publications can be easily adopted by 100% Free GNU / Linux distros, as well as by its users, by distros that want to enable the option to choose freedom by their users, and by users of those who do not.

Since mid-March 2012, the Free Software Foundation Latin America (FSFLA) joined the (then non-GNU) Linux-libre project as part of its campaign called «Be Free!», To motivate and allow users to use of free software.
