+a misnomer; it's a GNU/Linux distribution, but lacks GNU in the name, therefore it should be called "Arch GNU/Linux". Even, it's a don't endorsed distro by the FSF because contains the two usual problems: there's no clear policy about what software can be included, and nonfree blobs are shipped with their kernel, Linux. Arch also has no policy about not distributing nonfree software through their normal channels.
