Since that plug in is not included in a default installation of Cargo,
it is still unacceptable.  And displaying each license of each package
in a deep dependency tree counts as ``studying'' in my book.

In fact, it should not be possible to install non-free software by any
means presented by the package manager; using sources which are enabled
by default or mentioned in its documentation, for example: Debian does
not enable their `non-free' repository by default, but does provide
instructions telling you how to do so.  FSF-approved GNU distributions
do neither.

AFAIK, the GNU project does not make public internal policy discussions.
