I agree with Daniel.  These are GNOME summaries and in GNOME it was always
that case (whoever does stuff decides how to do it).  So it seems only
appropriate for the GNOME summaries to be treated the same.

It may be nice when you mention a non-free piece of software, that you just
mention that it is non-free so that us purists can skip to the next
"headline" :)
