Description

Almost everything in Linux Mint’s System Repository is free/libre and open‑Source.

But some Packages — including featured Packages — are closed‑Source or have closed‑Source Aspects.

So that i can make more informed Decisions to install or avoid certain Packages, i would love deserving Packages to be marked with Anti‑Features like these:
