No, I verified that they were not free, but that their licenses allowed me
to put them on a CD and sell them.

Rather than put the non-free programs in the distribution, we should consider
dropping the non-free directory _and_its_contents_ from Debian. We don't
really need anything in there, and it would be nice to get closer to the
free software ideal. We could allow someone else to distribute the non-free
programs as an addition to Debian, instead of our distributing them as a
non-free component of an otherwise free system.
