Taking a look at Debian and Ubuntu, they also provide packages with
'phone home' disabled:

https://tracker.debian.org/media/packages/a/ardour/rules-16.0.0ds0-1

If you want Ardour with 'phone home' for at least Arch Linux, Debian
and Ubuntu, you need to build your own package. The distro packages
install it with phone home disabled.

You might want to take a look at FreeBSD ports as well as Linux. Some
panel plugins for weather report services and things like that might or
might not collect data. IOW when using a "free as in beer service" that
neither the FreeBSD, nor the Linux communities could provide on their
own, it might cost something, such as data collection. IIRC the weather
plugins I've seen don't do this, but imagine something such as software
that might use satellite imagery (dunno if it exists for FLOSS at all).
Neither the FreeBSD nor the Linux community have their own satellites.=20
