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,
