Still do not see how this would change anything... well of course rules
may say that we may put anything into non-free if it's distributable,...
but then we need some better rules.

Although you may be right from the what allows non-free point of view,..
but in all doing respect,.. this is rather stupid I guess.
Next thing is that people "invent" licenses which force people to hate
Jews, or elect only Democrats, or do not use KDE...
Even if that fulfils non-free criteria... it should not go into Debian.
