Absolutely Proprietary

Proprietary package detector for arch-based distros. Compares your installed packages against Parabola's package blacklist and aur-blacklist and then prints your Stallman Freedom Index (free/total).

Update - I thought it's better to remove all the ascii stuff so there are no external libs. Thanks for the PRs!
