The distinction between free and non-free is defined for _works_, which can be copied. To call a web site "non-free" is not defined. See https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/network-services-arent-free-or-nonfree.html. I don't know what Thibaut had in mind when he categorized some web sites as "non-free", so I have no idea whether there is a real issue in that package at all. Maybe it is fully ok. Please remember that we have a written standard for referring to web sites. It is the node References in the GNU Coding Standards. If you want to discuss questions like this, please read it carefully so that you don't get trapped in spurious arguments criticizing policies that are _not our actual policies_. -- Dr Richard Stallman Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
