It didn't attract many peope, no, but it did spur Canonical to do
Gobuntu, on which the next gNewSense will be based, so I think some
gNS activity has been put on pause until Gobuntu is released. I also
hope Fedora will go fully free soon.

AIUI, its highly advised but not a requirement, although I've never
seen a list of core GNU projects and their copyright holders status...
Perhaps someone might want to compile such a list some day... :-)
