Quake and snes9x should be in main
Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal
Both of these packages meet the DFSG, and neither of them require
any non-free software to work. Some have made the argument that
since id Software's Quake game data isn't free, Quake depends on
non-free software, and since most SNES ROMs are pirated games,
snes9x depends on non-free software. This argument is bogus
because these programs *can* be used without this non-free
software. For example, if you wanted to develop a free SNES ROM
or Quake data pack (a copmlete one that does not depend on
anything from id), you would need this *free* software to develop
it.
