Why only GNU/Linux? Why not GNU Hurd, BSD and oðer free software operating systems?
Response message (from h-node.com):

As far as I know only the distributions indicated in the pages of the GNU project are fully free.

(As far as I know) BSD systems have some blob or non-free piece of code. Only OpenBSD should have no blob at all but its repositories contain some programs that are non-free (and this means that the "OpenBSD world" is not fully free since it suggests to the user some programs that are not free)

You can find here the Guidelines for Free System Distributions

About Debian GNU/Hurd.. (As far as I know) there are no GNU/Hurd distributions apart from Debian GNU/Hurd, but some of the Debian repositories contain non free software (contrib and non-free). Does Debian GNU/Hurd make use of those repositories? In this case it is not fully free.
