Task Description
Description:
extra/bogofilter 1.2.4-2.hyperbola2
A fast Bayesian spam filtering tool, without noncommercial files
That shall be clarified better in description.
See:
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#Commercial
Please don’t use “commercial” as a synonym for “nonfree.” That confuses two entirely different issues.

Task Description
Description:
extra/webkit2gtk 2.16.1-3.hyperbola1 [installed]
GTK+ Web content engine library, without geoclue2 support
The description is vague as it is using “content” in description. Why not say “elements” or something more descriptive.

Description:
extra/webkitgtk 2.4.11-6.hyperbola1
Legacy Web content engine for GTK+ 3, without geoclue2 support
The description is vague. There is not even need to use “content” here. Web engine should be very clear. “Content” alone does not make sense.

Packages | Any | Freedom Issue | Very Low | Low | [drupal]: using "content" in description | Closed | |
Task Description
Description:
community/drupal 8.3.2-1
A PHP-based content management platform
The description is vague. Content is not HTML page alone. Then even text editor could be called “content management”.
See:
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#Content
In most cases, that term really refers to a system for updating pages on a web site. For that, we recommend the term “web site revision system” (WRS).

Task Description
Description:
community/avrdude 1:6.3-2
Download/upload/manipulate the ROM and EEPROM contents of AVR microcontrollers
Description is vague because of the word “content”. The word itself is fine in English language, but here it is used out of the proper context. And it is not not necessary at all. When one knows what is the abbreviation of ROM, such as Read-Only Memory, then any mentioning of contents of ROM is needless. It is enough to say: “Download/upload/manipulate the ROM and EEPROM of AVR microcontrollers”
