BLAG 90000 (codename Chlorine) was announced two days ago by Jeff Moe. With Fedora 9 as its basis and a huge number of applications, released under the GNU GPL v3, BLAG Linux 90000 is a completely free distribution with all the tools needed for a desktop computer and more. It is also the first version that includes the brand new Linux-libre kernel, a Linux kernel with non-free software removed!

"It has been awhile since I've sent out an announcement, but quite a bit has happened since our last release, 70000. Alpha releases based on Fedora 8 and 9 made regular appearances. Linux-libre, a project to make a branch of the Linux kernel with non-free software removed, has flourished. This is the first 'major' release of BLAG to include this kernel by default." - said Jeff Moe in the release announcement.
