PC emulators that require a BIOS rom. Mol requires the "MacOS ROM" file
from MacOS itself. Things that "Depend: ..." packages in non-free (we
can distribute quake2-engine as depending on nothing, since it is just
the engine, not a game...the games would depend on quake2-engine for
operation.
Lots of things go in contrib, but a gaming engine that just happens to
have non-free data files that use it, does not need to go into main. The
engine is a development platform.
