Cor Nouws' answer confirmed what was said in the FSF announcement, 
although he does say their list is going to have a "view" (based on the 
tagging system, I presume) with free-only extensions. Not exactly what 
we're looking for, but maybe it'll make cooperation with them easier and 
help in creating the FSF list.

(CC'ing OOo list because of relevance and to kick off discussion.)

patch the source. Thanks.
