I'm not a lawyer though, so I do not know that much about the

I have seen, agree to, and know how this text should be under the Creative_Commons_Attribution-ShareAlike_4.0_International_License though.

Arch based or not?

https://web.archive.org/web/20241120225703/https://wiki.hyperbola.info/doku.php?id=en:project:faq&redirect=1#why_hyperbola_is_using_old_versions_in_comparison_to_arch_gnu_linux

shows in part "Hyperbola is a long-term support distribution based on Arch GNU/Linux plus stability and security from Debian GNU/Linux."

But https://web.archive.org/web/20240613154606/https://wiki.hyperbola.info/doku.php?id=en:start

shows in part "It is a complete independent system based on the package-management from Arch GNU/Linux and using patchsets from Debian development for stability and security"

So should it be typed about as "based on Arch" or "independent"?

I think it is independent now, but parts of the website still show based on Arch. Other Cody (talk) 23:12, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
