Gobuntu is a GNU/Linux operating system, derived from Ubuntu, that
endeavors to adhere to the Free Software Foundation's four freedoms and
intends to provide a base for other free software platforms to build
upon with minimal modification required. It does this by only including
open-source non-restricted software. This means there will be no
firmware, drivers, applications, or content included in Gobuntu that
does not include the full source or whose license does not provide the
right to use, study, modify, and redistribute the body of work.
