Thank you very much for the interest. :)

I don't speak for the Parabola project (because I'm in so many projects
that I hardly have time to focus on a single one), but I think that the
Parabola project could support the idea as long as the result complies
with the GNU FSDG --- not to be confused with Debian DFSG ---, noting
however that optionally free/libre isn't enough
([[https://www.gnu.org/distros/optionally-free-not-enough.html]]).

Also, as a personal opinion: I ask that you think carefully before
making another free/libre system distribution. It's best that you
install/provide Parabola as it is. See
[[https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.html]], in the paragraphs
before the table in the first section. Also, using the last reference
again, and also judging from what was considered by Falcão /et al./

this fragmentation makes free/libre software more unmanageable in the
future for society.


Respectfully, Adonay.
