I think one additional feature I would like to see (not so much for the
repositories themselves but for the underlying software), is a means of
placing license restrictions on your projects or libraries.

Most of the repositories listed are based on manifest files that contain
license metadata about the package, but none of the underlying package
managers contain means of:

* disallowing non-FLOSS-licensed packages; or even so much as
* ensuring the licenses of all libraries are compatible with each other.

This alone would be a large step to encouraging more FLOSS solutions.
A next step would then be to try and encourage projects to enable the
restriction.
