Hmm, I don't see any permission to distribute this, even in non-free.


Actually I don't know why this needs to be in non-free and cannot be in just plain main, quoting from the opcode FAQ:

Q: Am I allowed to use OPCODE in a commercial program ?
A: Yes. The library is free. No GPL or LGPL, you can do whatever you want with the code. I would appreciate it if you write somewhere in your product that you're using OPCODE, but that's not mandatory. I would also appreciate a notification by mail, just to know how people are using the lib.

The FAQ is part of the usermanual which you can find here:

Also opcode is used in many programs including for example crystalspace which AFAIK is in main.
