    Calling all those files non-free is wrong. 

Indeed, I wouldn't claim that they are all necessarily nonfree (despite
the name of the script).

    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=398728 

What I would claim is the same as what others have in that bug -- we
erred on the side of removing evidently-unnecessary files whose source
was not obvious.  In some cases rms made the decision.

Reed, if you or anyone here has time to go through the list and figure
out exactly what is what, that is great.  I already spent umpteen hours
on this in the first place and can't afford more.  I'm sure I made
plenty of mistakes.  It's not like I looked at every individual file in
the source tree.
