[fpc-pascal] Why is Free Pascal a blacklisted package on linux distro?

[Graeme Geldenhuys]

Hi,

I just read this story about Parabola (yet another linux distro). It
believes that everything must be free and open source. Thus no binary
ATI or nVidia drivers, no JDK, no Flash, on MP3 support etc etc...

The article lists all the packages that are blacklisted. Very
strangely, Free Pascal is in that list???? Anybody know why Free
Pascal isn't considered free and open source?
