That's no problem, since 'non-free' isn't a part of Debian. If you're
distributing a Debian release, you're distributing 'main'.
'non-free' is stuff that might have gone into 'main', if we were able to
ship it according to our conditions (according to the DFSG). Everybody who
likes to distribute 'non-free' has to check the licenses. Some licenses in
non-free don't allow re-distribution on CD at all, so if we're selling CDs
of all of non-free, you're certainly breaking some licenses even at this
point.
