作為一份由自由軟件基金會贊助的產品，gNewSense是基于Ubuntu的Linux發行，它發布時包含了一些改進，但不包含任何私有或非自由的組件。特別地，所有的私有固件、受限制的模塊、Ubuntu的徽標，都被移除了，而“Universe”軟件倉庫缺省被選中，一些GNU應用軟件如 Emacs和開發庫，以及bsdgames和NetHack，都被包含在缺省安裝中。該計劃的目標是創建一份完全自由的Linux發行。

Karl Goetz has announced the release of gNewSense 2.2, an Ubuntu-based, 100% free GNU/Linux distribution as defined by the Free Software Foundation (FSF): "ThegNewSense project is pleased to announce version 2.2 of its 100% FSFFree GNU/Linux distribution.
