Why is removing non-free going to have any impact whatsoever on your
RealPlayer? You can still install and use it just like you can now.

NON-FREE IS NOT IN DEBIAN NOW.
This GR, therefore, DOES NOT remove non-free from Debian. It was never
there.
Please understand the issues before voting.

Matej, please take a second to look into the issues so you can cast an
informed vote.
My proposal will not remove your ability to use RealPlayer or any other
non-free software.
My proposal will not remove your ability to get RealPlayer as a .deb.
My proposal will not even effect RealPlayer -- it's not even IN non-free;
it's in CONTRIB! Clause B of my proposal states in strong language that the
GR does NOT mandate the removal of contrib!
