===== Methodology =====

For the purposes of this document, an installer package or simply package is any file found in Slackware repository which is one of the following:
  * tar archive
  * gz, bz2, or xz archive
  * SlackBuild script
  * bash script
  * any other conspicuous blob
Note that this definition includes, but is not limited to Slackware packages.

A list of all packages is created from the repository root slackware64-14.2/ with:<code sh>find . -name "*.[gx]z" -o -name "*.t?z" -o -name "*.bz2" -o -name "*.SlackBuild" -o -name "*.sh" | sed 's|^\./||' | sort
find EFI/ kernels/ isolinux/ usb-and-pxe-installers/ | sort</code>

If possible, the list is compared with that for the previous FreeSlack release. In general, upgraded packages are assumed to have the same license type. For each new package, the sources are examined and the licenses are determined. Packages not meeting [[https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-system-distribution-guidelines.en.html|GNU Free System Distribution Guidelines]] are marked as non-free, and their licenses are described briefly.
