The policy decision's at http://people.debian.org/~ajt/sarge_rc_policy.txt:

] Code in main and contrib must meet the DFSG, both in .debs and
] in the source (including the .orig.tar.gz)
]
] Documentation in main and contrib must be freely distributable,
] and wherever possible should be under a DFSG-free license. This
] will likely become a requirement post-sarge.

That'll likely have to be amended somewhat to reflect the discussions about
firmware.

It may be able to be applied to all software, but it isn't being.

One of the reasons people don't bother documenting all the decisions
that get made is that the documentation that is available just seems to
get ignored.
