  1. The really nice feature of FOSS and Linux is giving you the choice. The option. The idea that it's your hardware, your system, you do whatever you wish to it, nobody can tell you what you should do. To answer your question, DT, I'd say that having a checkbox somewhere at the top, saying "Include proprietary software" and with a tooltip explaining what it is, and maybe list the main licences that are or aren't free. That would enable everybody to have all the power, while also making it visible and easy to stay FOSS (also easy for someone who has no idea what it is, to learn about it) Though it might be a bit too much work, to list on all software the license it uses would be neat too. Though then it might be a slippery slope of useful information that can be added. Like the version, the release date and so on, it might clutter the visuals a bit. Designs are hard!
