Packages in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS not found in Trisquel 4 LTS in the default installation:

More info can be found here: http://libreplanet.org/wiki/List_of_software_that_does_not_respect_the_Free_System_Distribution_Guidelines

1) app-install-data-partner - for installing things from Ubuntu's partner repository, which is proprietary software

2) fglrx-modaliases, jockey-common, and jockey-gtk are Ubuntu's programs for installing non-free drivers (usually for Wi-Fi and 3D acceleration) on some devices.

3) libubuntuone-1.0-1 is itself probably free software, I don't know why it's not in Trisquel.

4) linux-firmware is non-free blobs in the kernel

5) nvidia-173-modaliases, nvidia-96-modaliases, and nvidia-current-modaliases are used by the aforementioned jockey program, so I think that's their issue.

6) plymouth-theme-ubuntu-logo isn't in Trisquel's repository, I'm not sure why. Could be that Ubuntu's trademark guidelines don't jibe, or something. Same goes for plymouth-theme-ubuntu-text.

7) python-ubuntuone, python-ubuntuone-client, python-ubuntuone-storageprotocol, and rhythmbox-ubuntuone-musicstore are probably free software. Don't know why they're there.

8) software-center is free software, actually. It does recommend non-free software. Plus it's hard-coded to Ubuntu so it'd be useless to Trisquel unless modified.

9) tzdata, which is free sotware and even in the repositories.

9) ubuntu-docs likely recommends non-free software

10) ubuntu-keyring is used to install/verify non-free packages

11) ubuntu-minimal, ubuntu-standard are metapackages that point to non-free software

12) ubuntu-wallpapers are probably free, but maybe trademark issues?

13) ubuntuone-client and ubuntuone-client-gnome are free, and I don't know why they're listed.


Selecting all and marking for complete removal also removes ubuntu-artwork.

It's possible that the some packages come from third-party repositories and are still free software, but I'm not really worrying about those and there would be no way to keep track of every single program in every single repository - we just worry about our own and upstream.
