gNewSense is a GNU/Linux operating system based on Ubuntu.
It tries to maintain the user-friendliness of Ubuntu but
with all non-free software and binary blobs removed. The
Free Software Foundation considers gNewSense to be a
GNU/Linux distribution composed entirely of free
software. gNewSense takes a relatively strict stance
against non-free software. For example, any documentation
that gives instructions on installing non-free software is
excluded. The project was launched by Brian Brazil and Paul
O'Malley in 2006. In October 2006, after the 0.85 release,
it was given assistance by the Free Software Foundation.
