Yeah, but wasn't one of the argument of dropping non-free the fact thatthat would put pressure on upstreams of non-free packages to change their licence. [...]
Not one of mine. I'm not sure what effect it has on that, but I suspect a net zero. Maybe someone else will discuss that with you.
As you know, I think the best likely package benefit comes for those with unproblematic licences not hosted by Debian, but I see that you are careful to exclude that from your question.Err, i have difficulties parsing you here, could you clarify that for me ?
I think that it may encourage improved support for non-Debian-hosted packages in general, including project-produced packages and backport projects.
