Some more enterprising users search nixpkgs on GitHub and find it is _definitely there_ but don't know how to find it.\r\n\r\nExample chat where this happened: https://botbot.me/freenode/nixos/2016-07-20/?msg=69976623&page=9\r\n\r\nPerhaps a way to improve this would be show the unfree software in the list, but with a note about it being unfree.\r\n\r\n### Steps to reproduce\r\n\r\n0. Be a new user who is evaluating NixOS/Nixpkgs\r\n1. Try to install hipchat\r\n2. Find it isn't in nix-env's list\r\n3. Confirm it is in nixpkgs via GitHub\r\n4. ??? until they find `{ allowUnfree = true; }` or ask in IRC\r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/comments/239290314","html_url":"https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/17126#issuecomment-239290314","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/17126","id":239290314,"user":{"login":"domenkozar","id":126339,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/126339?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/domenkozar","html_url":"https://github.com/domenkozar","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/domenkozar/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/domenkozar/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/domenkozar/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/domenkozar/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/domenkozar/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/domenkozar/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/domenkozar/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/domenkozar/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/domenkozar/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-08-11T20:58:17Z","updated_at":"2016-08-11T20:58:17Z","body":"This came up again today on irc:\r\n\r\n```\r\n22:50:36           tosmi | hi, i'm a nixos newbie and unable to install the citrix-receiver package   \r\n22:51:09           tosmi | nix-env -qa | grep doesn't find citrix-receiver               \r\n22:51:34           tosmi | i suppose because it depends on an EULA protected blob...                                                                  \r\n```"}}
