This is only about the "main" section.

In addition to that, I wonder why we are supporting this packages in the
`contrib' section:

     * whose copyright permission notices (or patent problems) allow only
       distribution of compiled binaries (and thus of which only binaries
       are available)
     * allow free use only for a trial period (shareware)
     * are demonstration programs lacking vital functionality
       (crippleware)

Are there many of them?
