Let the control freak inside me clear this up a little bit.
This software is new to me, but I can tell it's not a GNU package
and its authors don't call it "GNU Calamares" either --quite
understandably-- so there's no merit in calling it that way.
In case anyone wonders, that doesn't mean Calamares is bad for
Parabola or the free software movement; on the contrary.

There's a difference between simply using one of the free software
licenses offered by GNU (like the nice GPLv3 used by Calamares)
and being a package under the official GNU umbrella.


All the best
