I came up with a much better solution. We can add sections to the OS pages for single-platform free software. Example: If you now click on OnionBrower at https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Collection:IOS#Free_programs you will come to https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Collection:IOS#OnionBrowser where the license is verified

Should I apply this solution for all single-plaform free programs listed in the OS pages at https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Free_Software_Directory:Free_software_replacements#Operating_systems ?
