IIRC, I've never said or implied that it has non-free software, unless
you want to call "non-free" the small amount of free software which
has been derived (probably from free software) without proper
attribution, etc.  And I've always been up-front that it is just my
opinion, based only reading a lot of stuff over many years, and
nothing I'll try to prove any time soon.  And many derivative issues
are practically unprovable and will remain subjects for costly lawyer
debates which will never occur.
