Of course, that's just my opinion, I don't speak for the LibreWRT guys.

That might be OK as well, but then the Freeness of a package should be
made clear some other way.

That's too black-or-white for me: I generally want to avoid non-Free
code, but I'm still willing to use it in some cases. So maybe we could
have such a variable to hide/show the non-Free packages, but even if the
non-Free packages are shown, I'd like to know which ones are Free.
And maybe when exiting the config menu, the stdout could display
a summary of the non-Free packages included.
