History
The first public release of BLAG was 22 October 2002. The latest stable release, BLAG 140k, is based on Fedora 14, and was released on 4 May 2011. In October 2014 Blag 200000 was released in alpha form.
As of May 2016 Distrowatch still listed BLAG as "active", although the developer roadmap was a blank page. Planning for BLAG 240000 had commenced in January 2016.
The script used in BLAG for cleaning the kernel from non-free blobs shipped in it by default was used as a base for the Linux-libre set of scripts.
