Description:

See:

extra/ibus 1.5.15-1
     Next Generation Input Bus for Linux

See:
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#Linux

Description is referring to operating system, and not to the kernel itself (Linux). It shall be amended.

Description:

community/iceweasel-no-resource-uri-leak 1.1.0-1 (iceweasel-addons)
    Deny resource:// access to Web content. Fill the hole to defend against fingerprinting.

Description is vague because of the word “content”. Does it deny to “content” or it denies to files, URLs or to what?

See:
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#Content

Description:

community/igmpproxy 0.1.20161003next-2
     a simple multicast router for Linux only using the IGMP protocol

See:
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#Linux

Description:

     inotify-tools is a C library and a set of command-line programs for Linux providing a simple  interface to inotify.

See:
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#Linux

Description:

community/isapnptools 1.27-4
     Allow ISA Plug-And-Play devices to be configured on a Linux machine

See:
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#Linux

Description:

community/isatapd 0.9.7-4
     Creates and maintains an ISATAP tunnel (rfc5214) in Linux

See:
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#Linux

Description:

community/joyutils 1.2.15-8
     jscal, jstest, and jsattach utilities for the Linux joystick driver

See:
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#Linux

Description:

In my opinion, this software shall be either removed, or features disabled to access either Google or Facebook, as those are proprietary networks.

Further, using those proprietary networks is steering users towards non-free software, directly, or indirectly, as many times Javascript need to be handled that is proprietary.

extra/kaccounts-integration 17.04.0-1 (kde-applications kdenetwork)
    Small system to administer web accounts for the sites and services across the KDE desktop, including: Google, Facebook, Owncloud, IMAP, Jabber and others

See:
https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-system-distribution-guidelines.html

A free system distribution must not steer users towards obtaining any nonfree information for practical use, or encourage them to do so.

extra/kaccounts-providers 17.04.0-1 (kde-applications kdenetwork)
    Small system to administer web accounts for the sites and services across the KDE desktop, including: Google, Facebook, Owncloud, IMAP, Jabber and others

I do not see why would “Google” and “Facebook” be there on the first place. This software shall be either removed, or features to access proprietary networks disabled.

Another point is that often such access would required handling the proprietary javascript. I do not know if that is the case here.

extra/kdenlive 17.04.0-1 (kde-applications kdemultimedia)
     A non-linear video editor for Linux using the MLT video framework

See:
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#Linux

Description is referring to operating system, and not to the kernel itself (Linux). It shall be amended.

Maybe it shall be GNU/Linux instead

Description:

community/keepass 2.35-2
     A easy-to-use password manager for Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and mobile devices

See:
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#Linux

Description:

The description of the package need to be changed to accommodate:
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html

To refer to published works as “assets”, or “digital assets”, is even worse than calling them “content” — it presumes they have no value to society except commercial value.

Description:

The description of the package need to be changed to accommodate:
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html

The expression “BSD-style license” leads to confusion because it lumps together licenses that have important differences. For instance, the original BSD license with the advertising clause is incompatible with the GNU General Public License, but the revised BSD license is compatible with the GPL.

To avoid confusion, it is best to name the specific license in question and avoid the vague term “BSD-style.”

community/libsmf 1.3-5
