Hi!
It is written in article Free GNU/Linux distributions:
"If one of these distros ever does include or propose anything
nonfree,
that must have happened by mistake, and the developers are committed
to
removing it. If you find nonfree software or documentation in one of
these
distributions, you can report the problem, and earn GNU Bucks
<https://www.gnu.org/help/gnu-bucks.html>, while we inform the
developers
so they can fix the problem."

Hyperbola Gnu Linux changing to Bsd:
Announcing HyperbolaBSD Roadmap
2019-12-21 - Luke R.
Due to the Linux kernel rapidly proceeding down an unstable path, we
are
planning on implementing *a completely new OS derived from several BSD
implementations*.
This was not an easy decision to make, but we wish to use our time and
resources to create a viable alternative to the current operating
system
trends which are actively seeking to undermine user choice and
freedom.
*This will not be a "distro"*, but a hard fork of the OpenBSD kernel
and
userspace including new code written under GPLv3 and LGPLv3 to replace
GPL-incompatible
parts
<https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#GPLIncompatibleLicenses>
and non-free ones
<https://notabug.org/jadedctrl/libertybsd-scripts-mirror/issues/5>.
Reasons for this include:
- Linux kernel forcing adaption of DRM, including HDCP
<https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10084131/>.
- Linux kernel proposed usage of Rust
<https://lwn.net/Articles/797828/> (which contains freedom flaws
<https://wiki.hyperbola.info/doku.php?id=en:main:rusts_freedom_flaws>
and
a centralized code repository that is more prone to cyber attack
and
generally requires internet access to use.)
- Linux kernel being written without security and in mind. (KSPP is
basically a dead project and Grsec is no longer free software)
- Many GNU userspace and core utils are all forcing adaption of
features without build time options to disable them. E.g.
(PulseAudio
<https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=659338> / SystemD /
Rust
<https://www.infoworld.com/article/3165424/mozilla-binds-firefoxs-fate-to-the-rust-language.html>
/ Java
<https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=57217> as
forced dependencies)
As such, we will continue to *support the Milky Way branch until 2022*
when
our legacy Linux-libre kernel reaches End of Life.
Future versions of Hyperbola will be using HyperbolaBSD which will
have
the *new kernel, userspace and not be ABI compatible with previous
versions*.
*HyperbolaBSD is intended to be modular and minimalist* so other
projects
will be able to re-use the code under free license.

Hiperbola GNU/Linux is not free!
It is all!
What is the opinion of the Theo de Raadt about Hiperbola GNU/Linux and
Hiperbola
BSD?
I think that he does not need to bother about this at all.
Maybe except of good laugh on such attempts?
Some distro nearly obsolete even in GNU/Linux world will suddenly
become success after "stealing" from BSD and creating Frankenstein
infected by GPL and thinking they promote "freedom"?
I say it for some time......whole Linux community is heading more and
more
quickly towards their own BSDi vs USL case. Just they don't get it
yet......
