I personally think too if the package name is "Virtual RMS" it should abide
the RMS principles, just to avoid confusion to the package's users.
Another option could be rename the package to something like "check
installation freedom" and allow choosing the freedom 'mode'. However I like
have a 'virtual' RMS. Maybe the best option is to fix the vrms to abide the
RMS principles, and add other virtual-whatever-package if you want. Note the
comment in the vrms description package:
"Future versions of vrms will include an option to also display text
from the public writings of RMS and others that explain why use of
each of the installed non-free packages might cause moral issues
for some in the Free Software community."
