+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; storage; that it holds core and nonfree makes no such difference as
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; that those two media are available from the network without
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; discrimination.
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; So yes, the ISO in itself would not be free anymore; but as long as
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; the install process does not pick into the nonfree media unless the
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; user asks to, what does it make an issue (not that I have no idea
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; about that, just that I'd like to see it expressed again from a
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; different POV of mine - and that will help for the survey definition
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; too).
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> In the public appearance this would make a difference. As soon as
+</I>&gt;<i> there is non-free contents on the ISO it is a non-free ISO. That we
+</I>&gt;<i> provide non-free on the mirrors doesn't make Mageia a non-free distro,
+</I>&gt;<i> only what we offer as &quot;products&quot;.
+</I>
+According to which definition/guidelines?
+
+According to FSF, we are probably currently non-free.
