It also gets 100% free software depending on 100% free software but that
happens to be distributed in non-US because of the moronic laws of your
country.
I had to upload c-nocem to contrib and I HATE that.
I'm opening a bug against the policy and I propose that those words in
2.1.3:
"non-free", or "non-US"
be replaced by the words:
or "non-free"

These two bugs (requests to change the definition of contrib to
exclude non-US) "never gathered much steam" and should be replaced by
a proposal to take account of the new non-US structure.
So I'm closing them.
