Not true, I'm afraid.

Where would you put a package that says ``not to be distributed with 
commercial software'' ?  How do we know what a CD vendor is going to include 
with Debian CD's.  Should we leave it out, in which case the vendors who are 
not including such software would be deprived of it needlessly ?

There area whole load of restriction that _might_ mean that a package could not 
be included in specific cases, while not ruling out CD distribution across the 
board.

Cheers, Phil.
