**John Sullivan** FSF's executive director, said about it:

>In a world where proprietary operating systems continually
>up the ante in terms of the abuse they heap on their users,
>adding another distribution to the list of fully free systems
>is a welcome development. Hyperbola represents another safe
>home for users looking for complete control over their own
>computing.

**André Silva**, Hyperbola co-founder and developer, said about it:

>Hyperbola is a fully free distribution based on Arch snapshots
>and Debian development without nonfree software, documentation,
>or any type of support for the installation or execution of
>nonfree software. Unlike Arch, which is a rolling release
>distribution, Hyperbola is a long-term one focused on stability
>and security inspired from Debian and Devuan.

**Donald Robertson**, FSF's licensing and compliance manager, added:

>It was a pleasure working with the team behind Hyperbola
>throughout this process. They really go above and beyond
>in terms of looking out for the rights of their users.
