While I'm not strongly opinionated about this I wonder what might be the
sense to move a package which was once accepted in main should be moved
to non-free. I understand thet the license is not "nice" but IMHO it
does not move it to non-free. It would be another thing if you would
say that erfa is a complete drop in replacement and we could drop SOFA
at all without loosing anything.
Kind regards
Andreas.
