CyanogenMod is one of the most popular multi-device ROMs. It is also the base for many custom ROMs available here on XDA. It supports a long list of devices, which makes it one of the most recognizable custom ROMs available.

Of course, CyanogenMod is an AOSP-derived  ROM, which means that much of the project comes from source code on Google's Android repos. It is also open source, with sources freely available to anyone looking to build upon the team's work. Unfortunately, not every element of CM is open, as some application and libraries are delivered as proprietary binaries. Those files are mostly taken from Google services and used in CMAccount for example.

Not every user particularly cares for Google's proprietary bits and its tendency to put them everywhere. As such, XDA Senior Member MaR-V-iN has created a script to clear out Google proprietary binaries from all CM10+ ROMs. Freecyngn disassembles the CyanogenMod settings app and replaces Google Analytics library with the free NoAnalytics. The whole process doesn't break the Settings app, and turns your device into one that is Google-free.

Installation is very simple. All you need to do is to copy the file onto the SD card or internal storage of your device. Then, simply flash it via a custom recovery.

Having a Google-free Android is an interesting idea. If you like it, make your way to the original  thread and get the newest version of the script. Also, don't forget to take a look at our earlier series on Saying Sayonara to Google Apps.
