Do you mean that official or unofficial media can contain packages from
non-free?

If you mean official media, this is more radical than Steve's proposal.
It would permit arbitrary non-free packages as long as users were
informed.

If you mean unofficial media - that's the status quo.  In which case,
this option is the same as Simon's and none of the above.
