I'm not sure if this has made it's way into the debian policy manual yet,
but this is not ok. All source code in the main distribution must have a
Debian Free Software Guidlines complient copyright. Your choices are either
to put it all in non-free, or to make two separate source packages, one
containing the free files, and the other containing everything else.
