communicator: contrib vs non-free

[peanut butter <pyeatman@cass20.ucsd.edu>]

Hi, forgive me if this is a stupid or over-answered question.  I
just spent alot of time searching the last quarter of mailing
list archives and searching Debian Package descriptions to answer
the question myself but can't seem to find a suitable answer:

What is the difference between Communicator offered through "contrib"
vs. "non-free".  Which naturally leads to: is one better
than the other?

With the just previous round of Communicator being released by Debian
Security, the last two machines I have upgrading "voluntarily", as a
"new" package, downloaded the non-free version of Communicator which
conflicts with the (I suppose) already installed contrib version.
Since I apparently can't have both, I have to decide between one or the
other.

Thanks,
Paul
