I don't understand this paragraph really. Are we saying that such
packages are not DFSG-free, in which case they should go in non-free,
or are we saying that they are actually DFSG-free, but we don't like
the restrictions being made, so we're going to relegate them to
contrib?
BTW, this is a *really* old proposal, and I'll close it if no-one has
any comments about it.
