Severity: wishlist
The "packages" page at <http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages>
currently says:
=====
Non-US/Main and Non-US/Non-Free
These packages cannot be exported from the USA, they are mostly
encryption software packages, or software that is encumbered by patent
issues. Most of them are free, but some are non-free.
=====
The point about encryption software is out of date since we can get any
crypto software exported from the USA these days. The last sentence is
needlessly vague.
How about:
=====
Non-US/Main and Non-US/Non-Free
These packages cannot be exported from the USA for legal reasons
(such as patent restrictions). Packages in Non-US/Main are free
software, while Non-US/Non-free contains non-free software.

Howdy,
I've clarified the descriptions.
