Yes, and it's important to find out which packages are indeed based
on open standards and remove the others imediately.

Not only because it's required by the licence, but because packaging
them might get people to use them, and that's bad. 

If a package is based on an open standard and a clean room 
implementation exists and is comparable with the reference and
has better license - I think the choice should be clear too.
