Policy

- -

When listing countries or other geographic areas in - documentation, menus, mirror/FTP lists, or other contexts, it is - important to introduce such lists as "Countries or Regions" so that - an implied sovereignty claim is neither made nor denied to those - regions which have their own top level domains.

- -

The ISO 3166 country codes do not necessarily refer to - nation-states (e.g. Hong Kong) and should not be treated as such. - Likewise the "official" ISO 3166 short English names for those - countries and regions which have top level domains are in some cases - controversial, and not all of them are commonly used in the software - industry.

- -

We follow the guidelines used by IBM, Microsoft, Google, and - other prominent software companies in their documentation in that - Taiwan should never be included with a distinction referring to the - Republic of China, People's Republic of China, or a national flag. - Interpretation of the word "Taiwan" is in the eye of the beholder, - and The FreeBSD Project does not endorse any particular position.
