Its gNewSense not GNewSense. Yeah, CamelCase is confusing. =/
Wikipedia has an article about gNewSense; * <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNewSense" title="wikipedia.org">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNewSense</a wikipedia.org>
I don't understand what you mean about firmware. Firmware is not in the kernel, it's in the hardware. Also, as far as I know, the kernel is under the GPL, so whats the problem?
Also, I think that it would be a good idea for ALL distributions to have a list on their website of ALL packages included in the distro along with the license, so that people can know all software the distro comes with and under what license they are under.
Free software operating system is interesting. I would love to run an free software operating system, though sometimes its confusing because there are thousand of packages, and you don't always know what license everything is.
