Again, I think they can be DFSG-free, as the DFSG never mention the need for a free compilation chain. And this if it was not the case, according to the Policy §2.2.2: >> very package in contrib must comply with the DFSG. then all the software that requires stuff outside of main for building should be moved to non-free, according to the Policy §2.2.3: >> Packages must be placed in non-free if they are not compliant with >> the DFSG non-free is the only section that allows non-free software. In fact, if requirering non-free software for compilation or exectution makes something fail at the DFSG, then I do not see the point of the contrib section, as defined by the Policy §2.2.2: >> Examples of packages which would be included in contrib are: free >> packages which require contrib, non-free packages or packages which >> are not in our archive at all for compilation or execution… -- Tanguy Ortolo
