FSF offers "GNU Bucks" for finding nonfree works in free distributions

The Free Software Foundation has announced its new "GNU Bucks" bounty program. The Free Software Foundation (FSF) today announced that it will begin rewarding those who find and report any nonfree components in free software operating system distributions with public recognition and "GNU Bucks." The FSF maintains a list of guidelines covering what it means to be a free distribution, and endorses distributions that commit to meeting those guidelines. "By spurring users to find and report problems, this new awards program will help make sure that the FSF-endorsed free distributions of GNU/Linux stay really and truly free," said FSF executive director Peter Brown."
