You made a third change not noted above:  the first mention of "bianbu 
os", a non-free Debian derivative?!?  That sounds like *another* GPL 
violation for every GPL-licensed package they actually included...

For example, Debian distributes GNU Emacs.  If "bianbu os" includes GNU 
Emacs with no sources published, that is *another* GPL violation.  
Likewise for most GNU packages, as I believe that Debian distributes 
just about all of themm, and every *other* GPL-licensed package in that 
system...

Are they trying for some kind of high score?
