but if such programs are included, at least there could be standard warnings
about common "ugly" properties and behaviors - eg:

* Beware that this program, although libre, is capable of downloading other
  programs which are not reviewed by the FSD team, and those may be non-free.
  Always be wary when downloading compiled software from any source other than
  your distro's repos. Even if the source code is libre, there is usually no way
  to know which source code actually went into the compiled binary.

* This program runs only on the non-free iphone OS - although its source code is
  libre, we can not sincerely recommend this program.

* This program runs only on replicant and the non-free android OS - the FSF can
  not sincerely recommend using the android OS for any reason.
