Adding an "only-free" option to the ports system

Hi

This is a suggestion.

Would it not be possible to add a feature to the ports system which
enables the user to choose to avoid non Open Source ports?

Some ports are obvious binary blobs, but other ports are less obvious.

I would like to be able to add an option saying "only-free", or similar
to Debians "main".

Kind regards.
