Thanks, great technically, but not ethically, especially in the
context of free software, FSF and LibrePlanet:

Many paths do not have ends.
Loads of Buttons

How Libre do you want your system to be?

1. Mostly Free Software;

2. I do not care;

What would mean "mostly" free software?! As if you provide even one
proprietary program that may put users at risk of surveillance or
similar issue. 

Such chooser software in the context of free software shall not even
question if it should offer proprietary software.

"I do not care" is expression that is worldwide representing lack of
responsibility.
