I don't think datasets are that clear cut. There are a lot of tools which are free, useful but don't work without non-free data sets. For example the gnome stock ticker which uses proprietary feeds clear needs to go. And firefox uses google for search which is a proprietary data dependancy ... A better test would be whether it is possible to produce new free data sets for them.
