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.
