I didn't want to make this about that case specifically, so I will bring
it back on topic by saying that the issue is that the information is not
concentrated, it is not analyzed, and I am never given a verifiable list
of files that are non-free (which should be the ultimate evidence). In
this case I found it terribly difficult to find any evidence and the
evidence provided by the page you are suggesting was terribly outdated
(many bug reports had been fixed 2 years prior, some other reports were
pointing to files that had other issues, not necessarily freedom
issues). Basically, I would like to solve the absolute mess of
information issue that we've had, that is the goal.

However, this does make me think that perhaps this could be turned into
something larger than simply the Parabola community, but that's not
something I'm going to get into.
