GNU Operating SystemFree Non-GNU Distributions
This page lists free system distros that are not versions of the GNU system. These systems must meet the free system distribution guidelines just as GNU/Linux systems must.

Replicant is the free version of Android. The Replicant developers have replaced many nonfree libraries, for certain phone models. The nonfree apps are excluded, but you certainly don't want to use those.
If you maintain a non-GNU distribution that follows the Free System Distribution Guidelines and would like to be listed here, please write to us at <licensing@fsf.org> with an introduction and a link to the project Web site. When you do, we'll explain more about our evaluation process to you, and get started on it quickly. We look forward to hearing from you!
