what do you think about excluding uses-nonfree too, because i think it's only used when:

some (potentially optional) dependencies are nonfree, which would already turn up in our list
it is referring to, linking to, or endorsing problematic packages
it integrates with problematic packages (can still be free!)

take mesa for example, the "issues" parabola identified are that it's recommending optional problematic software, but on its own mesa is licensed under MIT

Good point! I opened a new issue https://github.com/vmavromatis/absolutely-proprietary/issues/11 so we don't mess them up!
