You need to click on a rar archive. But linguistically speaking, it doesn't »suggest« to install rar, it simply states that rar is not found.

mladen added a comment to T60: [FREEDOM ISSUE] gnome-do-plugins.

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.

mladen added a comment to T61: [FREEDOM ISSUE] smtube - uses tonvid.com SaaSS.

smtube isn't removed in Trisquel (http://packages.trisquel.info/belenos/smtube), and yes, it's free. But for PureOS as a privacy/security focused OS it would be better to drop this (IMHO, see again: http://tonvid.com/privacy-policy.php). Besides, smplayer already can play YouTube videos by default (by using mpv as a backend).

Is GeoGebra free and open source software?
GeoGebra is open source software and available free of charge for non-commercial users.
...
Please note that GeoGebra as a complete software program would probably not be considered "free" software according to the definition of that term which is used by the Free Software Foundation.
