Hmmm. Perhaps this is a flaw in the non-US section,
or at least the perception of it (or mine at very least). I had
assumed that non-US meant otherwise free, which having just
read the copyrights for ssh and pgp, I see is not the case ..
Although it is obviously the end user's reponsibility
to read the package copyrights (as I had not done),
it mightn't hurt to better advertise the not-necessarily-free
status of these packages.
