See 
http://developer.skolelinux.no/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/skolelinux/src/task-skolelinux/lists/workstation.txt
It explains why each package is included, but says nothing 
about its License. 
Package,Why,Responsible,NeedConfig are the present parameters.
Including license and Free/non-free too as parameters will be 
helpful. It will helpus to easly identify the non-free packages
in skolelinux....
