Which apps are under a proprietary license? The "About" section in the
settings doesn't list any proprietary licenses at all. Only "Open
source" licenses, mainly Apache and GPL.

(I see the firmware as a separate, though also important, issue. But
Cyanogenmod also includes proprietary firmware, so the Fairphone might
be "as good" as that and a better option than phones which are hardcoded
to demand you provide a Google account.)
