I must agree that gNewSense is one of the very few GNU/Linux
distributions that actively enforce the state of the freedom of
software. However, I would like to see the practical side of the
situation, which is also the same situation that led RMS to come up
with freedom #3 (that is, there are just too much software in the
world).

Thus, I would like to ask if the gNewSense project is going to
actively verify the free-ness of each and every piece of software even
though they are already GPL-ed?
