Or at least make it clear a package is not free software. New users come into LM world and are quite amazed at this huge collection of softwares, but they expect it to be free/libre like LM. Could you please mark them as proprietary ?

Thanks.

I have no expertise in Debian packages sections, but I suppose it would be feasible to parse the Section header of the package, to search for non-free or multiverse etc. But some packages are not properly marked as proprietary, eg. Sublime Text is in editors (shouldn't it be in non-free/editors ?).
