@mladen.pejakovic Can you point to which one? Package in its build and depends per se doesn't have any nonfree dependency afaics, but it does have in plugin repo (once installed and you run the app and go to preferences) gmail and twitter plugis but afaik they are still free plugins (albeit to nonfree services but than that would render nonfree everything that can connect to internet and any nonfree service, website etc - first on attack would be browsers here). Also FSF reference to ti would be nice if there is one.

FSF might find this suggesting nonfree, as some of the plugins are not useful without nonfree software (like Skype). But looking at Trisquel: they did not remove this either, so we might leave it as well.

It is free software, plugins are free software, other endorsed distro has it, closing. Feel free to re-open if the need arises.
