[GNU-linux-libre] request for inclusion of packages not respecting FSDG

[Graziano Sorbaioli]

Hi,

today I checked every bug present on the gNewSense BTS and wrote down a 
list of packages that fail to respect the Free System Distribution 
Guidelines.

I think they should be added here:
http://libreplanet.org/wiki/List_of_software_that_does_not_respect_the_Free_System_Distribution_Guidelines

but I would like to know your opinion.

Thank you.
