# Other "Information for practical use" under a free license

Hyperbola contains in the amendments "Hyperbola is free software"
and "Hyperbola is free culture" from its [1]social contract the 
commitment to not include or recommend non-free software or 
documentation.

All packages contain its own [2][3][4]source packages and liberated 
tarballs available & a [5]git repository.

All documentation available from the [6]wiki contains its own source
clicking in "Show pagesource" option and all website articles [7]sources 
are available.

The [8][9]SVG logos 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 [10]git repository
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 [11]case yesterday, it is already 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 
[12][13]here.

Hyperbola contains [14]libretools a package with programs for Hyperbola
development that is used to build the entire distro.
