Being part of the GNU project we can't link to any non-free software.

Asking for the license seems to be sufficient for me.  Checking
whether the software and all of its components are really Free
Software is an expensive task.  While thinking about it:  What about
an additional link to the GNU directory (if an entry exists); there
the license has been thoroughly checked.
