Hello, I use Parabola GNU/Linux. I thought I give it a try just to get great score (like 100% free). So when I ran the program I got this list of non free packages:

|Name|Status|Libre Alternatives|Description| |---|---|---|---| |clamav|semifree|clamav|has nonfree unrar support for RAR into libclamunrar| |hexchat|uses-nonfree|hexchat|Hard-codes the firefox command in some menus| |kio|uses-nonfree|kio<br>parabola<br>1066|has non-privacy search engines by default| |licenses|uses-nonfree|licenses|Remove non-free CC -NC and -ND licenses (also add WTFPL)| |midori|uses-nonfree|midori|has non-privacy search engines| |okular|semifree|okular<br>parabola<br>1067|has copy-protection anti-feature turn on by default| |openexr|semifree|openexr<br>parabola<br>374|includes embedded nonfree fonts in the documentation| |ruby|semifree|ruby<br>parabola<br>674|json module has nonfree CVTUTF code; replace with pure Ruby implementation| |sdl|semifree|sdl|contains a source file that doesn't mention modification| |signon-ui|uses-nonfree|signon-ui<br>parabola<br>2603|depends on qt5-webengine| |texlive-core|semifree|texlive-core|some nonfree packages| |texlive-fontsextra|semifree|texlive-fontsextra|some nonfree packages| |texlive-latexextra|semifree|texlive-latexextra|some nonfree packages| |unzip|semifree|unzip|contains a source file that doesn't mention modification| |xarchiver|uses-nonfree|xarchiver|recommends nonfree unrar| |xmms2|uses-nonfree|xmms2<br>parabola<br>841|depends and recommends nonfree mac installation| |xscreensaver|semifree|xscreensaver<br>parabola<br>131|dmsc.asm file don't have source code supplied|

It's right that these packages are non free/semi-free but parabola has a [libre] repo which fixes these issues and then distribute these packages. So they are not really proprietary anymore.

Another problem/bug I noticed when I installed the program from AUR and then ran it. The list of packages(the pretty tabular box) were empty every time though it'd show the number of "non-free" packages.

Does #40 fixes it?
