AMD64 non-free archive - the good and the bad



Hi,

Ok. Took me about 6 hours, but I think I checked all licenses for
non-free that were in debian/*copyright. I didn't look for other files -
there is too much stuff in non-free and I don't want to go crazy.
Anyway, I compiled the licenses and summary for what Amd64 could
distribute in

http://people.debian.org/~adamm/non-free/

The packages that cannot be distributed (or I think they can't) are in
bad.txt. good.txt contains a list of all packages that have OK licenses
for redistribution. The licenses and script I wrote to extract licenses
are there too.

I was a little bit more liberal with fonts than non-font packages. For
example, if font prohibits redistribution to modification to fonts, but
unmodified was ok, then I said it was ok. If software prohibits any type
of modification (read: it says that) then I deemed it not ok and ended
in the bad.txt. Software with no license in debian/*copyright ended in
bad.txt.

Anyway, I think that packages in good.txt are good to be used by Amd64.

I skipped non-Amd64 capable packages.

For completeness, here's a list of packages which looks OK,
