Re: [SUMMARY] packages useless without non-free servers? (Was: a giant flamewar that's gotten hot as hell itself!)
I think that the best basic policy is that a package can go in `main'
if it doesn't require any non-free software *on your machine*.
Making use of non-free software on another machine is unfortunate
but does not put you in the same moral dilemma as having it on
your own machine.
But there could be some cases where it would be right to reject some
package, when there is something particularly pernicious about the
server that it talks to.
In other words, if you don't make a rule to bar from `main' all
clients that depend on one particular server, that doesn't mean you
must exclude this factor entirely from the decision.
