"Packages involved" means the packages that you intend to upload to our
archive. The freeness of plain text files (e.g. code) is easy to judge.
When you have doubt whether to upload a binary blob (pretrained model)
to main or contrib, feel free to ask me publically.
For example, these looks like typical questionable models:
https://github.com/Kitt-AI/snowboy/tree/master/resources/models
Without corresponding training data (FOSS-licensed) being publically
available, these models should not be considered free regardless of
the license of the binary blobs.

Great.

I interpret DFSG-compliant model as the "Free Model" defined in [1].
I need to update the document when I got enough free time to do so.

Good luck.
