Système d'exploitation GNU + noyau Linux-libre = 100% Liberté

GNU Linux-libre, (Free as in Freedom) Libre comme la Liberté!

Linux, le noyau développé et distribué par Linus Torvalds et al, contient des parties de codes propriétaire, c'est à dire des parties de programmes qui ne respecte pas vos droits élémentaires, et vous oblige à installer des logiciels propriétaires. (en=>fr) Even after allegedly moving all firmware to a separate project as of release 4.14, Linux so-called "sources" published by Mr Torvalds still contain non-Free firmware disguised as source code

(en=>fr) Few people realize Linux is not free. The same thing happens to Stux, this cute penguin.

Stux, un joli pingouin.  Peu de gens savent qu'il n'est pas libre

GNU Linux-libre est un projet visant à publier et maintenir le noyau Linux 100% libre, répondant aux critères de " Free System Distributions", débarassée du code compilé fourni sans ses sources, du code masqué ou obscursi, du code sous licence ne correspondant aux critère des licenses libre, ou ne permettant pas de modifier le programme afin de qu'il fasse ce qui vous plait, et qui vous oblige ou nécessite l'installation de programmes additionnels non libres.

Nos releases peuvent être facilement adoptées par 100% des distributions libres de GNU/Linux, tout comme par leurs utilisateurs. Par les ditributions qui veulent donner à leurs utilisateurs le choix de la liberté.

UTUTO-e était la première distribution GNU/Linux à supprimer les portions de code non libres, GNU Linux-libre la poursuit et l'améliore en suivant les pratiques établies par gNewSense et le projet BLAG

?La Fondation Logiciel Libre Amérique Latine (FSFLA) a rejoint le projet ((en=>fr) then non-GNU) Linux-libre dans le cadre de sa campagne "¡Soyez Libre!", pour encourager les utilisateurs à aller plus loin avec les Logiciels Libres, et à choisir la liberté.

(en=>fr) Freedo poses in a devil costume with GNU horns to celebrate 6.6.6-gnu.

(en=>fr) GNU shines above all, whether the kernel is BSD or Linux.

(en=>fr) This stable release is Free Software as usual and expected. The codename is about the costume, and the funny cognitive dissonance that might arise by citing a BSD icon in the context of GNU Linux-libre and GNU.

2023-10-30 - GNU Linux-libre 6.6-gnu

(en=>fr) Freedo wears a white coat with colored pens in the pocket, and a GNU Project tag.  Two other green penguins wear green alien costumes with antennas; the names printed on their chests are Evil Blob and Evil Bob.  Behind them, there's a road, a gas station.  Far in the background, there are mounts and a flying saucer with two black penguins inside.  Next to the road, a sign that said HISTORIC 66 ROUTE has graffiti that adds GNU horns, a dot between the digits, and -GNU.  Image by Jason Self from https://jxself.org/git/?p=freedo.git.

(en=>fr) Jason Self and I agreed to set up a Freedo profile in the Fediverse, for GNU Linux-libre announcements and related topics.

2023-03-12 - (en=>fr) i915 deblobbing bug fix

(en=>fr) Initializing the i915 driver when using certain Intel i915 GPU variants appears to freeze the system: there is an infinite loop of disarmed (unsatisfiable) blob loading attempts in 6.1.-gnu (up to 6.1.18-gnu) and 6.2.-gnu (up to 6.2.5-gnu). See this thread for a workaround (that bypasses the loop but disables GPU acceleration), to confirm whether your GPU is affected, and for a patch, that fixes the problem without disabling GPU acceleration. The fix is slated for inclusion in upcoming releases, presumably 6.1.19-gnu, 6.2.6-gnu, and 6.3-rc*-gnu.

2023-03-01 - (en=>fr) Free Software Supporter

(en=>fr) The FSF is thankful for fifteen years of maintenance work, which provides the community with a reliable (and reliably free!) version of the kernel Linux for the GNU operating system. Such work by the Linux-libre maintainers helps to power all of the freedom-respecting distros, and thereby helps those of us who aim to drive our hardware with fully free software.

02/04/2009 - gen2 - Sortie de 2.6.27-libre1

Cette sortie rend la série 2.6.27 compatible pour l'utilisation dans une distribution "Free System", après le portage et les ajustements déjà disponibles dans les séries 2.6.28-libre2 et 2.6.29-libre. La série 2.6.27.21-libre1 est également disponible.

31/03/2009 - gen2 - Sortie de 2.6.28-libre2 et 2.6.29-libre

Cette sortie 2.6.28-libre2 résoud un nombre de problèmes présents dans la 2.6.28-libre1: certaintes erreurs de compilation liées au deblobbing, certains noms et références de firmwares non libres, et quelques problèmes de protabilité de scripts shell.

Cette version 2.6.29-libre utilise la même infrastructure de deblobbing que la version 2.6.28-libre2, mais a été mise à jour pour la série 2.6.29, et adaptée pour fonctionner avec les portions de codes propriétaires et les drivers qui nécessitent des firmwares propriétaires qui ont été rajoutés dans les releases upstream.

21/03/2009 - gen2 - Sortie de la version 2.6.28-libre1 lors du Libre Planet 2009

Ceci est la première version complètement compatible avec les règles pour un système Libre : elle n'enlève pas seulement le code propriétaire (et ré-intègre certaines tables de données qui avaient été supprimées dans les précédentes versions), elle supprime également les documentations invitant l'utilisateur à utiliser des logiciels non libres.

l'enregistrement du discours d'ouverture du Libre Planet 2009.

Comment ça fonctionne

La suppression de tous les bits non libres du noyau Linux est accomplie au moyen du script deblob-mail, qui utilise deblob- and deblob-check.

deblob- est insipiré des scripts de gNewSense, customisés par la suite pour le projet BLAG par Jeff Moe, et finalement améliorés en tant que partie du projet Linux-Libre.

deblob-check est un script qui vous pouvez utiliser pour tester si le code source d'un noyau, un patch ou un tarball contient du code de firmware suspicieux (propriétaire).

Artwork

L'image du pingouin pendu a été prise par Lewis Laë en Novembre 2007 et, dans un email privé, il nous a gentiment accordé la permission de l'utiliser en tant que logo. Merci beaucoup, lew!

Dans tous les cas, cette image ne fait pas un logo idéal. Le pingouin est effectivement très propre et mignon, mais il reste prisionnier. C'est pourquoi nous l'avons appellé Stux.

(en=>fr) Freedo, the Linux-libre mascot

(en=>?fr) Burnaron a dessiné Freetz (merci!), le pingouin ci-dessus, sortant de la douche portant une brosse et une serviette. Il a également posté une version vectorielle (l'image est un lien vers elle).

Rubén Rodrígues Pérez a donné, erhm, naissance au plus jeune frère de Freetz, Freedo, notre logo officiel. Le nom fut suggéré par Jeff Moe. Fernando a suggéré une version grise pour pouvoir l'imprimer avec moins de couleur. La touche finale à Freedo a été apportée par Islene Calciolari Garcia et Alexandre Oliva.

Alexandre Oliva a combiné Freedo avec GNU, créant ainsi l'image en haut de la page. Les fichiers binaires publiés par le projet Linux-Libre seront configurés pour afficher ce logo lors du démarrage. Si vous voulez l'utiliser également, cherchez le patch nommé 100gnu+freedo.patch, dans les répertoires nommées avec les différentes builds de Linux-libre dans le repository SVN. Certains kernels utilisent une ancienne variante:

Système d'exploitation GNU + noyau Linux-libre = 100% Liberté

Guillaume Pasquet a dessiné Lux, la saint pingouin libre (thanks!), basé sur le logo tux original de Larry Ewing; les deux doivent être crédités pour ce dessins.

Alexandre Oliva a réuni le gnou en lévitation, et Lux, sortant de sa cage en lévitation également. Cette image et les sources correspondantes en la version vectorielle sont sous la même licence que le gnou en lévitation: GPLv3+ or GFDL1.1.
