If we disable adding add-on, we appoint ourselves as guardian for
immature users. And this IMHO is contrary to "free" (as in "free speech").
We might add some warning on the add-on page like:
Some of the add-ons listed here are no [Free Software](link). Please
check the license prior to installing. (More information »»](link)
This would make people aware of the problem but still give them the
freedom to decide. This is what F-droid does.
