From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

their own webkit GUI

Did they change Epiphany (GNOME Web) ?

while only allowing Open Source

Well, it is Free Software and Open Source Software. I think that restricting publications to this is a good measure.

I wish they also changed their base to Debian by default and allow a clean installation (no nonFree things) by default.
