Good to see Falcon came clean, I don't know any easy ways of thoroughly
testing it since each program can be configured differently.
Falcon can probably be white-listed as free software now.
Per QT Docs, as long as QTLocation is not compiled then Google APIs for
Geolocation should not execute.

Also Per QT, Google OAth shouldn't execute so as long as the Google API
key is not included in the software.

(The same is true for Mozilla Firefox in both cases)
