More, the Sage-too addon does not seems to be free anymore.
See:
https://addons.mozilla.org/it/firefox/addons/policy/0/7263/57692?src=addondetail,
Developers have added an EULA to the GPLv3 saying: "Anyone using any
type of ad blocker is prohibited from installing and using this add-on."
I think this make the GPL invalid and maybe also a violation of the GPL license.
And Sage-too should be removed from the GNU/Icecat free addons list.
Because it is a copyright license, the use of the software falls outside
the scope of the GPL (although the GPL FAQ suggests differently [1]). So
it's my understanding that this EULA doesn't affect the copyright
license in any way. However, the EULA is clearly not in the spirit of
free software, as it doesn't comply with freedom 0. So I agree that it
has no place in the list of free addons.
