FS#751 - [xmind] is probably directing users to proprietary software

xmind when installed is showing that “this version is not licensed”, so that cannot be right. Even though there is GPL license on Github, that vague information in the software can and is wrongly understood:

Further it is asking for license key to get the “Pro” version.

Thus xmind is pointing to proprietary software.

That means xmind shall be removed from Hyperbola immediately as such as it is now cannot be in the fully free GNU distribution.

Thank you for the report. It seems it is technically free software, but will need patching to meet our guidelines. As not many people use this software it can be safely removed, but patches are welcome if anyone would like to liberate this software.
