[GNU-linux-libre] Hyperbola evaluation

[Benoît]

Here is my first review for 6 points, please don't hesitate to comment
as it is the first time for me and I am not 100% familiar of the format
and details you are waiting for.

To simplify the readability I have put all the links at the end with the
corresponding references.

# No name confusion
NOTES: Hyperbola contains this topic in the amendment "Hyperbola and
name confusion" from its social contract [1]
> From the wiki, Hyperbola is avoiding name confusion, such as not
including the name “Linux” ambiguously in its projects. 
There is another topic in Hyperbola website which talks about
"nomenclature" and the naming of Hyperbola is also addressed [2]

# Programs commonly known to have freedom issues are liberated or excluded
NOTES: Hyperbola contains a blacklist [3] where all packages 
listed of software that does not respect the Free System Distribution
Guidelines [4] were liberated or excluded from its repos.

# All software under a free license with source code provided
NOTES: Hyperbola contains repos [5] for testing [6] and stable [7] plus
a git repository [8] to provide the source code of the packages.

# Does not encourage users to use or install non-free software
NOTES: Hyperbola includes 'your-freedom', a package that conflicts with
non-free package to ensure the system is free. 
If I try to install a non-free package the only way is to uninstall
"your-freedom" and deliberately renounce keeping the system out
of non-free software. 
Hyperbola also maintains a blacklist [3] that explains why certain
packages from Arch are blacklisted and removed from the Hyperbola repos.

# Avoids repeating propaganda or creating confusion
NOTES: There is no "words to avoid" from [9] in any of Hyperbola
website, page or documentation with two exceptions. This has been checked
with "grepping" all the "words to avoid" into the Hyperbola website
and individual web pages. 
"Commercial" is mentioned here [10] and is used in a context of commercial
world not only for software purpose. I don't know if this has to be
considered as an issue as it mentioned "Please don't use “commercial” as
a synonym for “nonfree.”" 
"Production" is also mentioned here [10], "Product" is in the list of
"words-to-avoid", again this is used in the context of "Production servers"
to mention a server running 24/24.

# Other "Information for practical use" under a free license
NOTES: Hyperbola contains in the amendments "Hyperbola is free software"
and "Hyperbola is free culture" from its social contract [1] the commitment
to not include or recommend non-free software or documentation.
All packages contain its own source packages and liberated tarballs available
from [5], [6] & [7] & a git repository [8].
All documentation available from the wiki [11] contains its own source
clicking in "Show pagesource" option and all website articles sources are
available in [12].
The SVG logos [13] & [14] include http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/
license but I have to open each individual files to check, I don't find a
licence file in the directory, I found them in the git repository [15]
I don't know if this is an issue.
For the PNG file, I am unable to find the licence so I have opened a
Freedom Issue case [16] and I will monitor for how long this will be fixed.
After installing the browser from Hyperbola (iceweasel-esr) this don't
contain DRM support, EME, Telemetry or non-free Add-ons.
It is confirmed by [17] and [18]
Hyperbola contains libretools [19] a package with programs for Hyperbola
development that is used to build the entire distro.
