Which non-free packages can we legally distribute and install?
Before we release, we need to review the non-free packages on the DVD,
to make sure we can legally distribute them and perhaps also
automatically install them (the latter is a problem with sun-java5*,
which required a interactive accept of the license before
installation).
These are the non-free packages currently on the DVD:
eagle-data
etoys
etoys-doc
firmware-bnx2
firmware-bnx2x
firmware-ipw2x00
firmware-iwlwifi
firmware-qlogic
firmware-ralink
libjogl-java
libjogl-jni
libworldwind-java
worldwind
The firmware packages are needed to get network cards and hard disk
controllers working out of the box. The rest are needed by user
applications. Anyone got time to check the licenses to verify that we
can distribute and install these? We should also verify that these
packages are important enough for us to bother.

Happy hacking,
