Please read my response to Ansgar, I don't think this is a valid argument, and I believe this is totally irrelevant here, because you are talking about some network CLIENTS, when php-recaptcha is using a REMOTE PROCEDURE when it doesn't really need one (huge difference). I now believe php-recaptcha is a valid candidate for contrib, and not the non-free repo, because the MIT license itself is perfectly valid for Debian, but it is using an picture generation library hosted remotely for which we don't even have a binary to play with.
