I'd like to see "proprietary" retained as an option which, when clicked, 
takes the visitor to a page stating that:

========= begin sample text
The following add-ons are licensed as proprietary.  They may cost no 
money but, neither are they licensed as Free / Open Source Software.  
These links are supplied by their developers and are provided here as a 
convenience to LibreOffice users.

Do you know of a F/OSS alternative for any of these?  Let us know!
========= end sample text

The reason I say this is that non-free software is not anathema to F/OSS.

fwiw,
-Craig
