I have some comments:

- project's Web site recommends Google Chrome/Chromium (in one of the
  randomly rotated screenshots) and ChromeOS: these contain nonfree
  software; Chromium has software with unclear licensing (and recommends
  nonfree addons); same page lists distros containing nonfree software
  in the footer

- font_bh* are probably nonfree

- ghostscript has/had nonfree software, I don't know if the version that
  you use is ok

- the choice of issue tracking software highly reminds me of
  http://mako.cc/writing/hill-free_tools.html

Nice to see the "Sources" link, I needed to follow many more links and
read more documentation to find sources and packaging scripts of other
distros.
