[Feature] Add Contrib/Non-free Tag

[asddsaz]

Description: Add contrib tag to software that recommends or depends on non-free software.
What is contrib? Contrib is a term created by the Debian Foundation to discern from software that is free software but may depend on non-free software.
But, isn't everything listed on privacytools.io only free software? Nope, especially not OSes of which many will auto-install non-free firmware like QubesOS.

Please add the labels the same way Brave's experimental label is added.

Note that you can't use " or , in the labels attribute. I will write a wiki page about this sometime.

For commas you can use ,.

[Mikaela]

Should something be done to apps that are free and use free servers, but where server is not configurable, for example Signal?

[ghost]

With Wire we warn about plaintext metadata. If Signal's open source frontend encrypts everything, there's nothing to warn about.

[asddsaz]

Please add the labels the same way Brave's experimental label is added.

@Shifterovich Done!

[asddsaz]

@Shifterovich Would you mind plz explaining the requested changes. I do not understand. :)

[ghost]

You added the labels=... but kept the <span class="badge badge-warning" data-toggle="tooltip" title="This ... in the description.

[asddsaz]

@Shifterovich Hmm, try re-pulling. I only see it for LineageOS. I made sure to fix that. :)
Thank you so much for your help!

[ghost]

Yeah, the issue with the description is now fixed.

This software may depend on or recommend non-free software.

How do you mean recommend?

[asddsaz]

@Shifterovich So, one example would be that Ubuntu "recommends" non-free software like Steam.

The main issue with the items I want to currently add this to is firmware but if an OS/App recommends a user to install non-free software you could use the same tag.
Preferably, it would have a more specific warning like:

This software may recommend non-free software such as apps or addons.

It is meant to warn the user that although the app is free software it may ask to install non-free software.

In what way does Ubuntu recommend Steam? (If it does, I haven't noticed.)

[asddsaz]

In what way does Ubuntu recommend Steam? (If it does, I haven't noticed.)

During installation they show many apps available for Ubuntu, many are non-free. They also have many non-free apps in their App Store.

The FSF/GNU has a good article on this:

Ubuntu provides specific repositories of nonfree software, and Canonical expressly promotes and recommends nonfree software under the Ubuntu name in some of their distribution channels. Ubuntu offers the option to install only free packages, which means it also offers the option to install nonfree packages too. In addition, the version of Linux, the kernel, included in Ubuntu contains firmware blobs.

The “Ubuntu Software Center” lists proprietary programs and free programs jumbled together. It is hard to tell which ones are free since proprietary programs for download at no charge are labelled “free”.

Could you please add some screenshots?

Could you please add some screenshots?

Hopefully this gives you kinda an idea:

[privacytoolsIO]

hi guys, whats the status here?

[Mikaela]

This PR seems to have became outdated/merge conflicting due to the website update. I would also like to see how this looks in practice and I think Netlify integration would kick in and bring a preview when the PR is updated.

[jonaharagon]

This is a relatively minor change to the operating systems sections only, so I'm okay with merging this.

[asddsaz]

There appears to have been couple of OSes with non-free kernels I must've forgotten to add the label to.
(mainly just DD-WRT, Whonix, and SubgraphOS)
But, wanted to inform you on why the extra commits.

@Shifterovich @jonaharagon @Mikaela @blacklight447-ptio

Like Before, OSes like Arch that list free'd alternatives don't need to tag.
Since, they say state that they aren't fully free in their description.

[asddsaz]

Aye, I was just curious if any of the past reviews have changed.
If they have, is there any changes that you would like undone or reverted or changed?

There hasn't been a discussion here is a while. :)

@jonaharagon @Shifterovich @Mikaela

[jonaharagon]

I overall approve of this PR but it has some strange code style related things that should be fixed.

[jonaharagon]

Okay well, I suppose I'll go ahead and merge this 🤞
