Please continue this on debian-legal, it is off-topic here, and there
is already a thread about this on -legal.

Personally I'd say it is simply not worth the trouble if it is
non-free. - People will be reluctant to install it and use
free alternatives (nail, mime-construct, ...) instead, and maintaing
non-free package is more work, too, because the buildds don't touch
non-free.
