I have read these pages here:

https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.html

and

https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-system-distribution-guidelines.html

and there is email on how to contact FSF, and FSF
is responsive, so I see that whole procedure is
very transparent.

I am sure that if you contact FSF for
clarification of any issue, that they will answer.
