18:3718:37, 23 January 2018 diff hist −14‎ GNU Guix ‎ Remove reference to Linux. Both "for" and "Linux" here are misleading enough that it's causing contention, and it's better to say nothing at all, rather than be misleading. For clarity, I've outlined the relationship to Linux on the talk page.
18:2918:29, 23 January 2018 diff hist +667‎ Talk:GNU Guix ‎ Add some information about the relationship to Linux, as this seems to be a point of contention.

18:5618:56, 22 January 2018 diff hist +9‎ GNU Guix ‎ Undid revision 821772595: "package manager for the GNU System" is how the project describes it's focus. It doesn't make sense to say "package manager for Linux", as the relationship is the other way around, Linux is but one of the packages that Guix has." Tag: Undo

10:5310:53, 24 December 2017 diff hist +3,645‎ GNU Guix ‎ Add a table of releases. The number of packages comes from adding the number of new packages mentioned in the announcement to the number for the previous release, so it would be good to replace this with an exact referenced number at some point.

19:3219:32, 30 October 2017 diff hist +2‎ Debian ‎ Debian is best described as Free software, as that is the language that is used by the projec

06:4606:46, 8 November 2016 diff hist −64‎ Category:Free-software conferences ‎ Simplify the page by removing unnecessary terms current

11:1411:14, 6 May 2016 diff hist +2‎ Linux distribution ‎ don't say "a Linux kernel" as its unclear
11:1311:13, 6 May 2016 diff hist −43‎ Linux distribution ‎ Restructure for clarity
11:1111:11, 6 May 2016 diff hist −16‎ Linux distribution ‎ Just say "includes Linux", as this is clearer than "based upon"
11:1011:10, 6 May 2016 diff hist +3‎ Linux distribution ‎ software collection -> collection of software

09:2209:22, 3 February 2016 diff hist +2‎ Eric S. Raymond ‎ The Battle for Wesnoth is free software (not open source) as confirmed by the licence

16:2416:24, 26 December 2015 diff hist +23‎ Open-source model ‎ Link to the main free software article
16:1916:19, 26 December 2015 diff hist +2‎ Debian ‎ Software in Debian must meet the Debian Free Software Guidelines, so the source model is "Free software"
13:1413:14, 26 December 2015 diff hist +294‎ Debian ‎ Cite the Debian Manifesto as found in the project history document directly
12:4512:45, 26 December 2015 diff hist −16‎ Debian ‎ free software is the appropriate term (in general, and definitely in the case of Debian https://www.debian.org/intro/free )
12:4212:42, 26 December 2015 diff hist −29‎ Debian ‎ You can use Debian without Linux (for example with the FreeBSD kernel, or the HURD), therefore its not appropriate to label it as a distribution of "Linux", which is just a OS kernel.
12:2012:20, 26 December 2015 diff hist −1‎ Linux distribution ‎ Fix grammar
12:1912:19, 26 December 2015 diff hist +1‎ Linux distribution ‎ Use "including" rather than "based on", as the latter could be confused for a derivative work
12:1312:13, 26 December 2015 diff hist −2‎ GNOME Disks ‎ Say included in several operating systems, as this is more correct

16:1416:14, 22 December 2015 diff hist −17‎ MIT License ‎ Change wording, this makes it easier to read, and less ambiguous
16:1216:12, 22 December 2015 diff hist +1‎ MIT License ‎ Improve clarity by moving reference and structure
16:0516:05, 22 December 2015 diff hist +4‎ MIT License ‎ Use the term "free software" rather than FOSS to improve correctness and clarity
