That's in the context of "how to categorize a package", not a list of
Debian machines and their one and only purposes.
What frustrates me is that there's software that's
- useful
- free
- legal (at least for quite a few millions of people)
but not officially available for Debian.
I understand fully that using the name "non-US" for patent-encumbered
software is wrong. However, the machine pandora.debian.org is in an
excellent position to also host a "non-Software-Patents" section of the
archive, which can again be subdivided in main, contrib and non-free.
