Hi Steffen and Andreas,
let's imagine the following:
- I start from a full local copy of the EMBOSS sources.
- I build the emboss package and test it with the non-free test data.
- Pleased that the regression tests give a green light, I upload a ‘free’
emboss Debian package that do not include the regression tests.
How can I pretend that the uploaded package is more free, if I have used the
non-free tests before uploading ?
How could I decline running the full regression tests before redistributing
EMBOSS to our users ?
Also, I have not yet investigated the part about Gene Ontology that was
mentionned by Peter Rice. Removing all the extract of non-free databases may
be difficult.
I do not see much of a burden to have the package in non-free. For instance,
seaview was moved to non-free after it incorporated a small part of Phylip, and
nobody complained about this.
Perhaps we could have a med-non-free meta package in non-free ?
Have a nice week-end,

Charles
