Haiku has its first distribution, but it's not coming from the Haiku development team. Pingwinek has just released GNU/Haiku 0.1.0, what is claimed to be (probably?) the first distribution of the Haiku operating system, coming from Poland. According to the Pingwinek home page, GNU/Haiku consists of the base Haiku system plus 40 packages ported from the Pingwinek GNU/Linux distribution, and it includes the GCC 2.95.3 compiler, several simple games, SDL, Midnight Commander, and ncurses. GNU/Haiku can be run from a HDD, in QEMU and VMWare or as a Live CD. Screenshots are available, and the images can be download from this page.

That's hairsplitting, The GNU Public License is just a license and the FSF created it for its GNU project but that doesn't imply that GPL licensed software is somehow part of the GNU project. Neither does the absence of the GPL somehow imply that software is not part of the GNU project as is evident in the MIT licensed ncurses library.
But overall, yes you are right, I mean GPL software != FSF software, I just don't usually distinguish between FSF and the GNU project.
