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

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.
