Well, I saw some contradiction between "we can't advise our users to use
this service" and yet linking to it. Of course, there's a difference 
between linking to AMO's main page and just linking to a particular free 
addon.

I agree with you that just adding a license field wouldn't help much 
(although it wouldn't be completely useless). But if Mozilla could be 
convinced to also add support for it in the AMO web interface then that 
would remove the need for GNUzilla's own free addon list.
