Frédéric L. W. Meunier <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License: 
Package: Noname GNU/Linux
System name: noname
This package does NOT want to apply for inclusion in the GNU project

I, Frédéric L. W. Meunier and Fabrício B. Cabral, Slackware users for years, 
decided it was time to create another BSD-like (please, don\'t confuse with any 
BSD-style license) distribution after almost 6 months of no active development 
and unsuccessful attempts to have our improvements included in Slackware. 
Noname is a Linux distribution to be developed in Brazil. It\'ll be as simple 
as Slackware, use ports like BSD, and only include Free Software like Debian.

The project doesn\'t exist yet but we\'re working on it. We already have a 
mailing-list (currently with 28 users) hosted at FreeLists - 
http://www.freelists.org/, which we intend to run at Savannah. The ports system 
will also take fully advantage of CVS, and we began to work on it.

We won\'t use Savannah to host the whole distribution. FTP and rsync will be 
hosted by ibiblio. Any service which includes binaries or sources will be 
hosted elsewhere. We intend to use Savannah for the other services, including 
CVS for the ports (Makefile + patches) and mailing-lists.
