The general rule is that everything that Debian ships, including
documentation, standards, pictures, etc., must be freely modifiable in a
manner consistent with the DFSG.  If it would go on a Debian DVD, then
all of the bits on that DVD must DFSG-free.  Otherwise, it may or may
not be able to be hosted on non-free or contrib.
