That is not true! JDownloader is released under GNU GPLv3, although it contain some closed-source parts[1] (see the 'License' section on it's Wikipedia article), like the non-free unrar[2]. I searched more about this topic over the internet but does not found any valuable information regarding which parts are they nor how to remove them. Maybe I will try to contact the developers.

Because the project comes from Spain like Trisquel, you may know more about it and can give me more information because that is all I know!
